I know an atheist who believes in ghosts. Fuck knows why.

Hyperactive imagination? Thought he saw something one dark night and scared the shit out of himself?

People always find a way to scare themselves. Theists do it with their fucking god stories.

Philosobabble strikes again.

If it's not a theory of probability then it's a theory of possible probability, etc.
Also, to the guy that said you can't make a statistic claiming the plausibility of God. I'm just applying the same rationale for the existence of god to other possible creators of everything, and making a probability.

And yet for all that, it is still total bollocks and means absolutely nothing in terms of whether a deity exists or not.

Well done, have a sticker:

You're going to need some data if you want to assign a probability to somethings existence, and thats exactly the trouble for this god-as-entity bit, there is no data. Plenty of data on gods, mind you, but nothing useful for the probability scenario.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You're the one interested in assigning a probability to the existence of entities described in fairy tales amigo, figure it out. Unless we're just looking to pull numbers out of our ass.....

I don't see what's wrong with the way I assigned the probability originally

Your post was full of fail, and you are a cock.

That do?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Probabily concerns reality. Probability attempts to calculate the odds/chance that a certain outcome will arrive based on known inputs and known mechanisms. You misused probabilty by invoking unknown inputs (creators of any sort) and ignored the creation method; therefore, your probability is meaningless.

Take the often used example of rolling a die (cube). The input is the die and its characteristics. The mechanism/process is the person rolling the die. We know there are six potential outcomes. The probability of rolling any one of the six is 1/6. We can then get fancy and figure the probability of rolling a certain number with a certain number of rolls.

This methodology cannot apply to non-existents. This is what is wrong with your assignment of probability to imagined creators. No input and no mechanism.
