The latter. Inferences that are generally based on existing scientific knowledge are more plausible than those that are primarily based on religious hooey, as far as I'm concerned...even if only marginally. I would consider some deistic arguments for Intelligent Design to be 'better' GUESSES, for that reason.
Not convincing, in my view to date. Just capable of generating a modicum of interest and/or momentary contemplation.
