Thanks Bucky for being the only guy who actually answered my question...
Less than 0%. So ud be a gnostic atheist?
The big bang theory goes on the premise that time and space began at that moment.

"To calculate probabilities, you would need more than one data point. We don't have that. We have exactly one universe as a data point."
Thats false. Probabilities are calculated in various fields using one data point
"If you are claiming that the probabilities that our universe has the hallmarks of intelligent design, you have to have an idea of what a universe not created by a god would look like."
Maybe u have to. Doesn't mean everyone has to.
As for scientists. Theism is a bad position to have and so is atheism cos it is a response to theism.
Especially in the soft sciences. Or theoretical sciences
A theist has his belief and will look around for evidence to support it.
An atheist does the same. Just look at the array of hoaxes put forward by science to try discredit religion. It's desperation.
College professors more concerned about holding lectures on religion than talking about science. Dawkins is a classic. For a theoretical biologist he talk way too much crap. Harping on about religion instead of doing science
