Dr. Raphael Lataster is a university lecturer in religious studies and a strong advocate of Bayesian reasoning.

He identifies Bayes’ Theorem as the most useful method of deciding which of several explanations, within any topic, is most probably true (See Section 3 and the video at the 45th minute).
