If the probability,"P" of a belief, "B" being true is subject to Darwinian Evolution,"D", under an Naturalisic worldview, "N", then "D" rewards "B" for its adaptive survival qualities regardless of the truth of "B". If the chances of the truth of "B" are roughly 50%, and the subject holds, let's say 100 different beliefs, the probability of 75% of those beliefs(a reasonable number I would say to sustain a viable worldview) being true is roughly 1:1,000,000.
Hardly reliable cognitive faculties,"R". So the P of R on D and N is low, therefore seriously disputing any belief, "B" held by anyone who subscribes to D and N.
If a creator, "C", guided evolution and belief, "B",towards truth and an ultimate goal of human evolvement, than cognitive faculties can be much more relied upon. The P of R on B of C and D is a much higher P.
This sounds like the skewed and useless mathematics of Dembski rather than something that should be taken seriously. Evolution(which has been proven empirically) reveals a universe without design.

Personally, I thought it was rather insulting to the field, using the word "math" to describe that gobbledegook.

Why not ???
I thought it describes perfectly the math that this world's brilliant geniuses have used for years to run the Global Economy. The book "Just Numbers On A Screen" by Owen Platt therefore is a must read. It goes beyond the netherworld of Internet Ponzi Schemes and illustrates beautifully how mankind has brought us to this point we now find ourselves.

Then you agree with me. That other form for the N. should be God in Sartre's Quality.
