6: very low but indeterminate probability that gods exist
Fixed to allow me to choose one.
The trouble with the scale as given is that I have no basis for assigning a probability that gods exist. In truth I find the very definition of gods to be incoherent to the point that I'm not sure what it is I'm supposed to be looking for. Given this problem, no probability can be assigned.
However I prefer to say it is very low in that I have no expectation of ever discovering one. But on the other hand, I'm not invested in there being no gods. I welcome whatever comes. I want the truth (whether I can handle it or not). If gods there be show them to me, please. But in all seriousness I have no expectation of that happening.
