Describe which type of creation you believe brought the universe into existence.
I don’t know as I am not an expert on those theories. The confidence I have that the scientific method is the best way to provide answers, is 100%, as it has proved itself to be the most reliable method in describing reality.

Examples of possible answers are the Big Bang and Evolution,
All the evidence we currently have tell us that the universe, the earth and life itself is a result of natural processes. My confidence in telling all those hundreds of thousands of trained scientists that they all are wrong is 0%. My confidence in accepting their findings, 100%.

Young Earth Creation,
0%, as it has been proven wrong, millions of times. Please take note, YEC has been proven wrong. In my field, we have lots of evidence that the earth is older that 6000 years. I’m 100% confident in that.

Old Earth Creation, ID or any other interpretation of the scripture. Be as detailed as you like.
0%. There’s absolutely no empirical evidence for a designer or god or any kind of supernatural agent. The qualities that we are told a creator should have (as described in holy books), are not evidenced in reality. What we experience in life indicates the opposite of what all these religions claim a designer or creator or their gods or whatever should be like.

Expressed as a percentage, what is your confidence factor that your belief is correct, where 100% expresses complete certainty and 0% expresses no certainty at all.
99.9999%. Maybe some aliens made the world for us together with the evidence that we evolved. I give this a 0.0001% chance. We’re still looking for evidence that aliens exist and as no qualities that contradict reality have been ascribed to aliens, we can’t be sure whether a specific alien exists or not.
