Statistics ties into several issues of science and faith. These include
gullible misuse of statistics-most citations of polls, for example
deliberate misuse of statistics-some of the RATE claims on the huge
significance of values that, though non-zero, are within two standard
deviations of zero.
randomness misperceived as evidence of God's absence-quantum
phenomena, evolution, etc.
