How do you calculate 50/50 chance? And why the God of the bible rather than Brahman the creative principle of Hinduism, for example?

Isn't it 50/50 between those two options without even considering any number of other possibilities?


Imagine a 6 sided die with an X on one side and the rest blank.

The only two possible results are X or blank, but the odd of getting an X are not 50/50, they are 1 in 6.

Bayesian analysis isn't just a combination of 50/50 outcomes.
