I'm sorry, but as open-minded to new ideas as I am, reducing everything down to one choice has to be the most intellectually dishonest argument I have ever seen in the absence of any supporting evidence.
This is the conversation I hear in my head:
Theist: So remember when the lights went off with no explanation?
Nonbeliever: Yeah, then I went out and checked the breaker, and hey presto, let there be light.
Theist: OK, now imagine it wasn't the breaker.
Nonbeliever: OK, so I called the electricity company and there was a fault with the main line.
Theist: Right, now imagine there wasn't a fault.
...fast forward through every plausible explanation...
Theist: See! All that's left is God, so it must be he!
Atheist: So which God are we talking about again?
