You can't just 'round off' "almost certainly doesn't exist" to "the probability of his existence is zero". If you can't rationally say he definitely doesn't exist then 'rounding it off' doesn't make any difference.
Saying his probability is zero is exactly the same as saying he is impossible so yes you did say that, maybe you didn't mean it, but that's what it actually means.
Actually, I argued that the probability of the existence of God ISN'T zero, but that it tends to zero.
The rounding off aspect if how we treat infinitesimal probabilities that tend to zero.
Kind of like the probability of a person charged with murder saying someone else did it who has his exact DNA.
