Oxford University professor Richard Swinburne, a leading philosopher
of religion, has seemingly done the impossible. Using logic and
mathematics, he has created a formula that he says shows a 97
percent certainty that Jesus Christ was resurrected by God the
Father, report The Age and Catholic News.
This stunning conclusion was made based on a series of complex
calculations grounded in the following logic:
* The probably of God's existence is one in two. That is, God either
exists or doesn't. * The probability that God became incarnate, that
is embodied in human form, is also one in two. * The evidence for
God's existence is an argument for the resurrection. * The chance of
Christ's resurrection not being reported by the gospels has a
probability of one in 10. * Considering all these factors together,
there is a one in 1,000 chance that the resurrection is not true.

I think I know where I'm going to apply next in my job search. If
that guy can become a professor at Oxford...
