Deism for non-believers

[Skepsis]

Through discussion, I think we have fleshed out the idea more and we're not exactly talking existence but rather plausibility. I don't know what it would take to make a definite jump from plausibility to existence though.

I hadn't understood that this had progressed to a scale of plausibility rather than existence. I did kinda take a TL,DR in the case of this topic.
This tosses your idea that all atheists should be deistic out the window, doesn't it?

In any case, human beings can make any concept that isn't physical a "plausible" idea. That doesn't make it any more likely, which makes your scale less appropriate and Dawkin's scale more so, being as it is a scale of plausibility, possibility, and probability that take into account primarily the plausible but further reads into whether or not things are worth believing. The crux of the matter is that, through selectively hypothesizing the existence of any given thing, anyone wuold eventually be drawn into a sea of musings whose aggregate purpose is their own pleasure.
