[Avodah] Belief?

[Joel Rich]

Just listened to an interesting podcast interviewing Charles Murray author of the recently released “ taking religion seriously “

He is an 83-year-old former agnostic who said that he changed his mind due to weight of evidence, not that he is convinced but he thinks that God has a better than 50% chance of being the explanation for our existence.

It’s my understanding that post-modern philosophy does not believe you can prove with 100% certainty just about anything. When I read modern Jewish philosophy when it often seems grounded in tradition or personal feeling which is not easily transferable. Question how would we categorize an orthodox individual who made the same statement as Dr Murray?
