What do I think? I think theVOID was right to call you out on your statistical bullshit. Specifically:
Non-sequitur (and an abysmal use of statistics). It does not follow that because there are numerous possibilities, the chances of one of them being true are smaller. Only if you assign equal probabilities to each of the possibilities can this be true, and you can't assign equal probabilities because you don't know anything about these possibilities to justify such an assignment.
There may be more evidence to point to a particular God, and that is where probabilities change. It's like when creationists argue that because there are two outlooks (Creationism vs Evolution), the chances of either of them being true is 50%. This is of course, nonsense, and you can easily see why. The existence of other possibilities (aliens seeding life for example) doesn't suddenly make the chances of all three 33% each.
The second piece of statistical nonsense was this:
Now I pride myself in being pretty good at mathematics, yet I've never seen a calculation where "millions of millions of millions" is equal to infinity. Yet you claim that 1 in "millions of millions of millions" is an infinitesimal amount. Well...it's not. It's a very actual and measurable amount. Not only that, but 1 in "billions of billions of billions" is an actual amount, and very much smaller than your amount...so how can your amount be an infinitesimal?
For you to have an infinitesimal, you'd have to show that there are an infinite number of entities in the universe. Well, that is easily disproven. The visible universe is a finite size, ergo it can hold a finite number of things. Only a fraction of which are entities (assuming we are talking about living entities here), and even that fraction can be calculated to an actual amount. So your "infinitesimal" argument simply shows you have a very poor understanding of statistics, as does the rest of your post.
Quote:Which monotheist God am I referring to? There should be one God, but there are, in fact, several monotheist Gods. Thus, we could at this point determined how likely it is that God is the Christian version. He could be Jewish, Islamic, Sikh and all other versions ... But even if he was the Christian God, would he be the Lutheran God or the Anglican, Catholic, Maronite, Coptic or Methodist God (to name a few). So the chances that he is (1) a Christian God and then (2) a particular sect of Christianity is a small chance.

Quote:So in the entire universe there can only be one truly omnipotent entity out of the millions of millions of millions of other entities. So the chance of a single entity in the whole universe is infinitesimal.
