The link to the bibliography on Bayesian reasoning is dead for me :-(

ETA: Google cache.

ETA #2: While looking for that link I came across this paper by the above mentioned Richard Carrier: “Bayes’ Theorem for Beginners: Formal Logic and Its Relevance to Historical Method — Adjunct Materials and Tutorial”

Some theists are mocking the Carrier article's mistakes over here.

Hmm, having read that comments thread I now need to worry that Carrier's prior tutorial on Bayes's theorem might have egregious errors. There are a lot of basic probability errors outlined in that thread.
