But to the original question, I see no way to objectively set a probability for the existence of God. The assumptions required to calculate such probability would never be widely accepted and therefore the answer would be meaningless to a significant piece of humanity.
im not so sure that you'd have a hard time finding people to accept the probablity, whats the probablity that we evolved and the universe evolved?
Robert Naeye, a writer for Astronomy magazine and an evolutionist, wrote that life on earth is the result of "a long sequence of improbable events [that] transpired in just the right way to bring forth our existence, as if we had won a million-dollar lottery a million times in a row."
now what are the odds of that?
Yet evolution is a widely accepted scientific belief.
