What's your definition of "God"?

This proves, yes, proves that no matter what your religion, without even knowing what your religion is, the likelihood based on solid maths and probability, is that you are wrong.

Note that this doesn't disprove God, and I'm not claiming that it does. But it does prove that if you are religious and firmly believe in your god according to your tenets, you are on balance of probability wrong. It also proves that belief counts for nothing.

Nicely said.
