I'm on the fence, tending towards yes. And I just gave you one.
If A and B both have a 50% probability of being true then the probability of the existence of a creating intellect goes above 50%.
The reason this would be the case is because 50% of the time A is true and by necessity of it being true a creating intellect exists.
However if B is true the multiverse itself could still have been created by an intellect. Unless you can show the existence of a multiverse positively excludes the existence of a creating intellect, you have to acknowledge there is some probability, call it X, that a creating intellect exists. X might be exceedingly small...but it is not 0.
If A and B are equally likely, the probability of the existence of a creating intellect is 50% + X.
