Googling it seems that the past history of elevators getting stuck is about 1:100000 or less.Taking the lift/elevator up to the top floor, Is there a probability
it will get stuck between floors?
Is there a possibility it will get stuck between two floors?
I think your question is intended to highlight the meaning of probability. For our choice of religion, I think probability is a concept in everybody's mind that helps them make decisions. Here is a link to the "expected utility hypothesis" for decision making ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_utility_hypothesis ). So I claim that we all have probabilities in our minds - even if God might know the best choices with complete certainty. Of course everybody has different experiences and theories, so everybody's probabilities are different. As soon as we make a choice in our behavior where the outcome depends on the truth of some religion, we reveal something about these probabilities in our minds. Theoretically, we could put people in situations that help us measure these probabilities. Threatening somebody with death or torture would be one method. Bribery might be another method.
