Caller John from Texas presents an unusual argument: that Francis Galton's "wisdom of crowds" principle proves God exists because many cultures believe in deities. Matt Dillahunty and Seth Andrews methodically break down why this is a logical fallacy, using analogies including invisible gumballs and changing religious demographics to demonstrate the flaws in appealing to popularity as evidence for truth. The discussion touches on probability, logical fallacies, and the reliability of faith as a pathway to truth, ultimately showing why statistical averages cannot prove supernatural claims.
