Im not focused on one particular claim of God like the Christian one. For me a God is any kind of creator.
What is the probability of there being some kind of God, creator, intelligent design?
Should the atheists answer be 0%?
If the answer is greater than 5% is the person an atheist still?
If the answer is greater than 30% is the person still an atheist?
It's less than 0.
A "creator" is an incoherent notion.
A being cannot "act" ("create") in a timeless environment.
Yet time itself had a beginning. A timeless state led/caused/resulted in ours with time.
Quote:Intelligence means a mind has to be working. A process.
There is not one shred of evidence of intelligence in the absence of a healthy functioning brain.
It's all nothing but anthropomorphic projection.
No, intelligence when it comes to a creator, tend to follow from acknowledging elements of reality possessing features associated with creative acts, like teleological elements, purposes and aims, foresight, meaning etc...
People can infer from such things, that we’re part of a created, or purposeful order, and their belief that there is a God, can be synonymous with this belief.
