Mackie says something similar in his epic (in both ways... actually, it's not that big, but still...) book 'The Miracle of Theism'. He says that a being who acts immaterially is so far from our experience as to be a priori improbable.
Yes I agree. However, thats too easy ain't it there must be a a myriad of such probablistic arguments. I more interested in exploring gods non-existence (I'll not give up on hard atheism)Cool Shades
