After his weekly audience with the Omnipotent, Michael was chatting with Tetramorph, one of the seraphim forever stationed in throne room. Michael gave Tetramorph occasional updates regarding the current state of spiritual hostilities between angels, demons, witches, and Christians in the battle for earth.
This week he mentioned in passing that humans think with their brains. Tetramorph was incredulous. Since Tetramorph never left the throne room, his firm and unalterable experience of minds was discarnate minds. The Godhead. Seraphic minds. Cherubic minds. Demonic minds.
Indeed, was any other type of mind even conceivable? The extraordinary notion of having to think with a brain was superfluous. A flagrant violation of Occam's razor. Why, it went dead against the uniformity of supernature. And extraordinary claims demanded extraordinary evidence.
As any seraph with a rudimentary grasp of Bayesean probability theory well knew, no testimony was sufficient to establish brainpower, unless the testimony were of such a kind that its falsehood would be more extraordinary than the fact which it endeavors to establish.
