There are two important differences:
1) God is a single entity and 'people' is a collection of entities.
2) The probability of a person existing (like me) has certain definitions. You will need (assuming you can, of course!) find a person with my name, my attributes (such as hair colour etc ...), living in a particular city – London, the fact that I post on atheistforums.org with a particular username etc … some maybe smaller than others but no where near ‘infinitesimal’. There are 6m people living in London (I think!) that is no where near the probability involving the countless entities in the entire universe and the unique attributes such as being the omniscient!
That's one difference. Yes I realised that was what I was saying. If both were species though (God & Human), and we were both under consideration as possibly extant from a remote (ie either of our existence would be unknown to them) alien species... then the chance of either God or Human existing would be infinitesimally small.
