    This mfer has never heard of selection bias.

    What are the bets they’re in the US, and hearing about crashes mostly in the US?

    Christianity may be the largest religion in the world, but it’s a plurality, not a majority.

      Same for the other side. All the countless times where God miraculously saves the plane in the last moment lost to history. No news report, no one will check the black box. It’s just another Tuesday

        Surely if it was a miracle there’d be some supernatural residue left over. Holy ectoplasm.

            Isnt it though? If i say i own a car but never carry car keys, my home has no garage or on-street parking spot, that is evidence that i dont own a car.

              (dunno if you’re being sarcastic)

              It’s just a twee catchphrase christians came up with to say you can’t prove a negative. It’s not anything new, and it’s not actually contributing anything. It’s a core aspect of “burden of proof”, and this is just a way of shifting said burden to the people asking for evidence of the divine instead of leaving it on the people asserting that the divine exists in the first place.
