- Title
GOD, ANTS AND THOMAS BAYES.
- Authors
Markowitz, Harry M.
- Abstract
The author analyzes Bayesianism, the theory of mathematician L. J. Savage regarding Bayesianism, and its application to the question about the existence of God. He explains the calculation that serves as the basis of Bayes Rule named after mathematician Thomas Bayes. He adds that a Bayesian is someone who believes that action should be based on probability beliefs and that Savage used an axiomatic approach in his theory. He argues against the notion that God created man in His image based on the Bible.
