Bayesian Cosmology

A fantastic article that first appeared in New Scientist and was subsequently republished in CAM, the alumni magazine of the University of Cambridge. Bayesian statistics, although once controversial and mathematically less accessible, gives a much more natural interpretation of probability than the frequentist approach which is more often taught to high school students.
