There is no equivilence. There is no logical reason to think your arms will fall off at 11am, regardless of what we are considering.
Since we know the Universe began to exist, it is logical to believe it had a cause, due to the laws of causality. Either the cause was deliberate or not. Therefore, it is a 50/50 chance.

Not if it can be replicated just as sincerely and with as much supporting evidence as the believer of any religion. Can you please tell me that you understand why? Your personal testimony is useless, because a Muslim/Hindu/Scientologist/whatever could provide the same in support of their religion. Like I said, you can't grasp the simplest idea.
You could easily attribute any sort of evidence I offer as either insufficient, or resembling the evidence offered by other religions. I have already told you that you can prove it to yourself and you have refused to do so. So, the ball is in your court.

You interpret everything about me through your lens of disbelief in God. If God exists then virtually nothing you believe about me is true. You really have no way of determining what sort of person I am due to your preconceived notions and bias against Christianity.

That seriously narrows the probability of Christianity.
<1%?(generous)
The reason I say this is that many atheists will claim the existence of God is not probable. I am noting that it is at least a 50 percent probability to start with. When you factor in all of the other evidence it is much higher, and to me a virtual certainty. Atheism, for all its boasting, has no way to lower that percentage. There is no argument for why atheism is true and correct.
