And you are changing the argument anyway, because the initial argument had nothing to do with the intelligibility of the world.
For some reason atheists never apply Bayesian analysis to the Resurrection. Wonder why?
For the same reason we don't apply Bayesian analysis to the story of Snow White.

What choice did God have with regards to pi?
Divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter and you get 3.14159265359. It cannot possibly be any other value. Try it, take a sheet of paper, a compass and a straight edge and divide up the circle as many times as you see fit then use the straight edge to create triangles. You now have geometry which leads to mathematics. It cannot possibly be any other way.
No god's required.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
