Most Atheist believe that God doesn't exists because there is no proof that God exists. Yet Atheists also believe the intelligence life might exists some where in the universe even though there is no proof, because probablity favors it, so what are the odds that God exists? The God doen't have to be from any religion just has to be a God like creature that created the universe. Please give your actual answer in number form and explain how you got it.

I am an atheist. I do not believe there is any "probability" regarding God. There is no divine being of any kind guiding the universe.
As for the question of extraterrestrial intelligence, Carl Sagan presented a mathemetical formula regarding the probability of intelligent life on other worlds. The mathematics are based on things that can be measured, quantified, and are known to exist. The opposite of God, which is by definition unquantifiable.

The probability of a god existing fully formed and uncaused is only 1 in 10^13,427,964. It's been scientifically calculated and verified to over 6 billion decimal places. The probability of an intelligent god just existing fully formed and functional with no cause or origin is so infinitesimally small that it has to be rejected as utterly impossible.
By a spooky coincidence, it's exactly as likely as if a tornado swept through an junkyard and threw together a fully formed Boeing 747, complete with passengers... and 57 different versions of the Holy Bible. You'd have to be completely nuts to believe this could happen!

Well, if you are talking about a sort of supernatual being then you can't put a figure on that. How would you even comprehend it. I believe that there could be a supernatural being beyond our comprehension, honeslty, there has to be something because our brains are limited in understanding and comprehending. The universe had to be something before it was nothing, well, I can't comprehend anything before time without using our concept of time. So confusing...
I don't believe either way if intelligent life exist. If it does it does, if it doesn't it doesn't. Only a physist would try to put a probablity on that.

Probability that a god exists - 0%. Man created god in his image, not the other way around.

Christian version: .011111111111111111199% chance: Too many contradictions that cross themselves out making the possibility impossible unless we are in a reverse reality that doesn't exist. Example: God is merciful/ God drowned the entire world with children, animals, men and women in a flood for not recieving information of his existance.
Islamic version: .11111111% chance: more logical than christianity yet still a lot of foolish stuff.
Pastafarianism: .1999% chance: no logical flaws made in it. It is quite a good bit more logical than older religions b/c we have studied the failures of old ones and made this one to be more able to adjust to people psyche.

I recommended a book the other day on how to calculate the probablility of God's existence using Bayesian statistics and the general consensus amongst atheists seemed to be that the idea of reading such a book was a waste of time.

I don't believe in God or that there is intelligent life in the universe. So, to answer in numbers, I would say zero percent probability of either.

I think you're already confused in your first sentence. What you should have said is that "Most atheists don't believe that gods exist because there is no evidence that gods exist".
You're confused about evidence, proof, and knowledge.

No chance at all. The only intelligent life I believe are humans and other earthly animals that have shown it. No God, No Aliens. 100% right about this.
