Wikipedia tells me that Langan says that he can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics ... I feel like there's gonna be some bad Bayes in there somewhere.
@carlitoscohones @techtakes See also Frank Tipler, "The Physics of Immortality" (or: Astrophysicist goes cray-cray, tries to prove TESCREAL bullshit only takes a left turn into evangelical Christianity by way of the fine structure constant)
From what I recall from the halcyon days of science-blogging, it was more bad Gödel than bad Bayes, but a dose of the latter would be unsurprising.
