Hi, Aware Wolf.

A is given (the universe). Then, the question is: which is more likely: B or not B (God). I don't think simple probability can tell us that A AND NOT B is more likely than A AND B, without knowing something about B.
It's just an application of Occam's razor: assume "not B" until we have reason to believe "B."
It's "innocent until proven guilty": assume "not guilty" until we have reason to believe "guilty."
