Atheists: In your opinion, what is the probability that God exists?

About 0.02% in my opinion. People saying 0%, come on!? You never know!

I would happily say im 50% sure that no gods exist as long as the believers of said gods meet me halfway by only being 50% sure he does exist.. once we're in the happy place of 'Who gives a crap' we can move on to more important questions like 'What is the probability that everyone will get there act together, overthrow corrupt governments (all of em hehe), fight the in built nature to kick everyone in the balls and usher in a new age of peace and enlightenment'....

Sod it.. im 0% sure of the existence of gods cause im an fanatical atheist to the core and if i said anything else id go to the place atheists go when they have lived a bad life.... thats right.. 1000 years in the belly of the dreaded invisible spaghetti monster where your prodded up the *** 24 hours a day by rabid unicorns while being fed your own faeces by demented fairies.

Probability is really a pretty exact science. Any percentage I could give you would be a complete stab in the dark, not representative of any real data. Additionally, I would need to factor in the possible existence of the other thousand-plus deities humans have worshiped over time.

What you're asking may seem simple, but it's really a very complex question.

The best I can really say is, given the credible evidence that I've found in my searching, there is less than a 1% chance that any god exists, and a 0% chance that the Christian god, as described in the Bible, exists (because it is of a wholly paradoxical nature).

I will try and confirm and explain in my modest way the probability that God exists. I will not write of percentages, and neither specify any particular God. Also, I hope that my human safety will not become more endangered because of what I am writing.

Through all those eons of human presence on this Earth, God, and even some apotheoses of Gods and Goddesses, are existing in the imagination and in the material representations that humans have contrived or contrive about their God, in the words of holy prophets and scribes. We have figurations of God or of Gods in all the anthropomorphic forms that we may meet within all the human societies, we have got and still get the information that my God is better than your God, sometimes even that we have the exclusive right to call God the name given to Him by the authorities in our own culture.

We have got the qualification "enemy of God" indicating those people / heretics / off-spring to Satan within those people with a particular idea of God and of the will of God that we have got from a "final" prophet through a final scripture in the indication of people / heretics / infidels that disagree or disobey to the holy final scripture imposed upon us by the earthly deputies of a God in a Faith.

The probability that God exists is given through all those scriptures and temples and high holy deputies of God that are burdening / enslaving or illuminating and sometimes dazzling our imagination or life.

Thus, God indeed does exist in this world, in the mind of all people both of the ardent intransigent murderous believer and of the fierce or astute sceptical atheists or heretics.

Amen. Have lots of great good laughs.

That God exists?

about 1:1/(infinity)

That some deity created the universe? I would be purely guessing. The key question is whether we are just one of many many universes, or one of only a few, or one, universes. If the latter the next important question is what range of values for the universal constants - G, Plank's constant, etc. are possible for a universe.

If there are billions of billions of universes then one with the right constants for life to occur is very probable. No deity needed. If those constants are very constrained in their ranges or relationships then the right values for life to occur are again probable. No deity needed.

If it is shown that we are the only universe and that the constants are unrelated adn highly variable - then P(natural universe) becomes very low and P(creator deity) must go up.

The fundamental problem of creator deities is the question of where they came from.

You really cannot apply terms like "probability" to an abstract concept like God.

Not from an academic standpoint, at least. If we wanted to see how likely it is for a given god to exist, we'd have to compare a universe in which a given god exists to all other possible universes..

There are an infinite number of other "possible" universes, so the probability of a god existing is entirely meaningless.

Now, even this is misleading...because without seeing any instance in which a god DOES exist, the probability becomes zero. It's like asking "What is the probability that a human baby will be born with wings tomorrow?"

Well, how many times human been born with wings? None?

Then the probability is zero, regardless of how many different scenarios you can think up in which a baby has wings or something that resembles wings.

Without any evidence that god DOES exist, the probability that he exists is zero. No opinion there...only fact.

Infinitesimal, yet no longer somewhat 0. it quite is, in spite of everything, impossible to disprove God interior the standard experience. final Thursdayism illustrates this element completely. That suggested, the needed situations for God to exist are prohibitively no longer likely, and it unquestionably does not be the God of any contemporary faith.

I think that Atheists who answer this blatantly with a "o%" answer are really deluded and unable to factor in the reality that exists.

Even posters in London on Buses said that "There probably is no God" were organised by Atheists.

I think that religious people aswell need to get grip on reality.

Human knowledge is not perfect, it is not complete nor is it infallible. We have many holes and gaps and error probabilities.

The problem is that none of us know for sure, or 100% accurate.

So there may be a god, there may not be a god.

So just live your life and treat people and their beliefs with respect.

And just be aware, you do not know everything, and if you think you do then you are proclaiming yourself as wise as a god!

Yahweh, the god of the Bible? 0%

If a god like Yahweh or Allah existed there would be explicit evidence. No such evidence exists, therefore these gods do not exist.

Yahweh and Allah are also internally and externally incongruent, and thus cannot logically exist. An omnipotent and omniscient god with free will can't exist, because it could not both know the future and change it. An omnipotent and omnibenevolent god can't exist and allow the true horrors that occur to sentient beings.

It is 0.

That's not my opinion, it's a fact.

See, the only way to determine a probability is to examine demonstrable cases of the thing in question happening and the thing in question not happening, and expressing that as a number.

With no evidence for any god, we do not have a demonstrable case of a god "happening," so the probability is 0.

That doesn't mean there is NO god, by the way -- it simply means that given the evidence we have, the probability of a god is 0. For that number to come up off 0, we'd have to have demonstrable evidence that some kind of god has existed somewhere at some point in time...and we have none.

Peace.
