" Thus, while perhaps we cannot assign a zero, almost surely, prior plausibility with regard to the existence of God, we can still make a clear statement about what direction the evidence is pushing the posterior. The posterior plausibility of the God hypothesis has been uniformly decreased as we've collected evidence that should bear upon that question. In Carrier's metaphor, the God hypotheses, in any form specific enough to consider, has lost millions of races and simply should not be bet upon to win any in the future.[25] "
