Why are some people so sure there is a
God and others so sure there isn't? How can a particular
interpretation of the Bible seem so obvious and logical to one person
but so obviously wrong to another?

Seeing Patterns in Noise: The Virgin Mary on grilled cheese |
We are especially bad at interpreting
data in the context of theology. If you need proof, look
carefully at both sides of almost any “Atheism vs. Christianity”
debate on the Internet. The problem is not lack of data. Quite the
opposite! There is so much relevant data that it's impossible for
anyone to adequately grasp it. Thus, we tend to focus on a narrow
subset of data and let our cognitive biases take care of the rest.
I am no less prone to these errors than
anyone else. But I do know some tools from my line of work that are
helpful in minimizing our biases and extracting useful information
from large, complex datasets. This blog will apply data mining
concepts (along with some psychology, meteorology, and personal
opinion) to challenge people of all faiths (or lack thereof) to look at
theological “data” in a new way.
