Though I strongly suspect that if MileyCyrus had properly signaled distaste for religious ideas and proposed prayer as a possible avenue or immortality without making an apparently high estimate of their probability, s/he wouldn't have been downvoted.
You think my 2% estimate was high? Richard Dawkins assigned theism approximately the same probability. I can understand if you think my confidence in atheism is low, but is so ludicrously low that it deserves 9 downvotes?
What probability would you assign theism?
Richard Dawkins assigned theism approximately the same probability.
Well, if we're going to start dropping names, Eliezer would "be substantially more worried about a lottery device with a 1 in 1,000,000,000 chance of destroying the world, than a device which destroyed the world if the Judeo-Christian God existed." It's not the same hypothesis, but it's close, and it's stupid to use ethos so much anyway.

No, it's not so low t...
What looks, at the moment, as the most feasible technology that can grant us immortality (e.g., mind uploading, cryonics)?
I posed this question to a fellow transhumanist and he argued that cryonics is the answer, but I failed to grasp his explanation. Besides, I am still struggling to learn the basics of science and transhumanism, so it would be great if you could shed some light on my question.
