right? Now imagine there's an elephant instead of the monkey, or a giraffe, or the mole was somewhere else
on the body, and so on. Therefore there being a God is a one in an infinity chance.
This is a completely idiotic argument from confidence in ignorance.
It misrepresents ignorance - "I don't know what limits there are on the forms god can take" - as knowledge - "god can therefore take all forms I can conceive of"
From this foundaqtion, all that can be built up - "Therefore any specific form of god has one in infinite (expansive view in itself of what you can conceive of) probability" - is logical rubbish.
It is far better to examine some specific forms god has been assigned, and argue against those.
