In this amusing post, Glenn Peoples (Update: Technically, the creative work is Tim McGrew’s) lampoons Richard Carrier’s misuse of Bayseian Probability by turning his methods on – the existence of Richard Carrier (link to example). This misuse of “probability” is not confined to anti-supernaturalists like Carrier. We also see it among supernaturalists, from time to time.

TurretinFan,If you thought that was funny, you will love this expose of Richard Dawkins:http://www.uncommondescent.com/audios/Dawkins_Delusion.wmaIt is much the same as what you have in Glenn People's post. My favorite line from it, “If Dawkins designed the book, then who designed the Dawkins; just answer me that!”
One correction, Tim McGrew was doing the lampooning, Glenn was just reposting it (with permission).
Actually, the spoof was written by Tim McGrew.
