    Supports→The probability that there is an omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect person must be very low indeed.

    Accordingly, the number n of cases of such suffering must be extremely large, which drives the overall probability very low.

    The upper bound, moreover, is surely very low indeed, for of the billions of people and sentient non-persons who have existed, the proportion who have had the good fortune never to have suffered in ways such that the known wrongmaking properties of allowing such suffering outweighed the known rightmaking properties must be small. Accordingly, \(n\) must be extremely large, and thus the probability that there is an omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect person must be very low indeed.
