I am curious as to how some people can claim that it is more plausible that God exists. What method does one use to assess the probability of God's existence?
The problem I have with this is that the existence of some kind of mind that exists independently of the universe, at least right now, seems to be something we cannot even investigate in principle, and so far, we have shown that some deities CANNOT exist, like the deity who created the world 6000 years ago. The Christian God can be shown to be false. However, not a single God can be shown to be true, and the only evidence we have indicates that it MIGHT be possible that there is SOME kind of god. Just like it might be possible that Russel's teapot exists.
Far from being able to demonstrate god's existence, one could make the argument that god is nothing more than a logically incoherent concept.
