Miracle of the Shroud V - Blood and Limestone

It's been over a long time now. He's admitted he has no evidence (well he said he only had circumstantial evidence, and there is no such thing in this context), and although he won't confirm it while I'm being ignored, he's admitted he needs a miracle.

Once you've admitted that you have no evidence, it's game over.


Who am I kidding. I suppose he'll come back and start over with the patches or the vanilla crap.

He's unwilling to present his evidence, however he wants to characterize it. That's functionally equivalent to not having any at all, of any kind.

5. But if one hypothesis is that the event is a dog, and the other hypothesis is that it isn't a dog, having four legs is supportive of the dog hypothesis over the non-dog hypothesis.

No, it isn't, because "non-dog" does not just include things that do not have four legs; it also includes all things with four legs that are not dogs.

Since the number of 4 legged animals that are not dogs massively exceeds the number of dogs. (Just add together the number of cattle, Pigs, sheep, cats, horses, deer etc., etc.) We can say that categorically four legs supports non dog over dog.

According to this article there are c. 525 million domestic dogs in the world. See https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-corner/201209/how-many-dogs-are-there-in-the-world.

According to this article their are 964.6 million cattle in the world. See http://beef2live.com/story-world-cattle-inventory-ranking-countries-0-106905

According to this source in 2013 there was c. 977.27 million pigs in the world. See http://www.statista.com/statistics/263963/number-of-pigs-worldwide-since-1990/

According to this piece there are 1,078,948,201 sheep in the world. See http://www.knowsheep.eu/userfiles/1_ The Sheep World at a Click.pdf

According to this article there is c. 400 million domestic cats in the world. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3101986

The number of horses in the world is c. 58 million. http://www.horsetalk.co.nz/2007/09/12/world-horse-population-58m/#axzz412bFqnVt

According to this there are c. 30 million deer in North America. I was unable to find figures for the world. http://www.actionbioscience.org/biodiversity/rooney.html

And just for laughs what is the number of goats in the world? According to this there are c. 450 million goats in the world. http://www.goatworld.com/articles/goatslife/goatfacts.shtml

I won't add all the other animals that have 4 legs.

So guess what it appears that 4 legs make it vastly more probable that 4 legs means non dog than dog.

I, however, will. I have been feeling rather left out of this discussion of non-canine quadrupeds, and so feel moved to act.
There are around 15,000 wild yaks left. There is, however, only one cosmic one.

However, having included myself within the scope of four-legged not-dogs, I am now puzzled as to whether this makes me more or less likely to be Jesus.
