I have a nickle in one hand.  Which hand is it in?  A 50/50 chance of picking the correct hand, but there is a nickel.

Not quite how it works. Sure, the first coin toss you ever make might be a 50/50 split, but every toss after that is something other than an even split. Likewise, the first god proposition might have been an even split as far as correctness, but every god invented after that was not an even split.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.

If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.
