Bayes' Theorum Explained Intuitively

 

I talked with someone recently about Bayes' Theorum. In my logic classes I resisted trying to explain Bayes' Theorum to students. I don't have enough actual experience using it to claim to significantly understand it. Yet certain philosophers and theologians and Christian apologists use it to argue for certain probabilistic outcomes.

So...  I discovered this today, as a result of reading Francis Spufford's Unapologetic, which linked me here, from where I traveled here - "An Intuitive explanation of Bayes' Theorum," by Eliezer Yudkowsky. Very good!
