Well you better be 100% right or you will be paying on judgement day.
Bwaaahhhhh!
Sorry just always wanted to know what it felt like to condemn someone else to Hell.
Think I need a shower now.
BTW I'll go with 99.999864% probability that you are correct.

That's certainly a big chance to take. Life is extremely short and we will all find out shortly. It would be wise to find out for sure before it's too everlasting late. There is a God and He wishes that none would perish but it is entirely up to you to choose weather you would be His enemy or His friend. He calls me friend.
From the Old Testament alone, more than 2000 specific prophesies have been fulfilled.
No other so called Holy book compares.Most of the 333 prophesies concerning the Messiah were fulfilled by the birth and life of Jesus Christ and the rest will be fulfilled at His second coming. A mathematician, Peter Stoner, had his graduate students calculate what the odds would be of any one person fulfilling just eight of these prophesies. He found the chance was one in 100,000,000,000,000,000 !Only a God who knows the future could have revealed these prophesies to those that He would have record them in His Word.
In spite of what is being taught today, the truth is we can reconstruct most of the life of Jesus Christ through non - Christian writers of the first century. Even Celsus who despised Christianity, never considered claiming that Jesus Christ did not exist.This is what can be learned from the writing of Celsus...
He was born of a virgin in a small village of Judea;
He was adored by wise men;
His birth was followed by the slaughter of infants by order of Herod;
He took flight to Egypt, where Celsus supposed Christ learned the charms of the Magicians;
After returning, He resided in Nazareth;He was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a voice was heard from heaven;
He elected disciples;
He was a friend with publicans and other low people;
He cured the lame and blind;
He raised people from the dead;
He was betrayed by Judas;
He was denied by Peter;
In addition Celsus refers to several details of Christ's passion, crucifiction, and resurrection.
Twenty seven books of the New Testament, nineteen Pagan writers, and three Jewish writers testify to Jesus Christ's historical reality. When I hear people say that Jesus or the Bible is just a myth I just realise that they are simply unaware of the facts.I recommend The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel and or Skeptics Answered or The Gate Of Hell Shall Not Prevail by D. James Kennedy, and The Signature of God by Grant R. Jeffrey. May all your thoughts be taken captive by the Holy Spirit. Amen.

In order to answer your question, we need to know the range of possible outcomes. God either exists or does not exist, similar to tossing a fair coin. Therefore, it is 50%.
This solution has a problem however. Is your question a "fair" question. In other words, is it equally likely that god exists or does not exist? Perhaps we should evaluate other evidence in order to determine the likelihood of God existing. But this poses even more problems. What exactly do we mean by God, and what would it mean for a God to exist? Many theologians can't even define God, let along provide evidence for its' existence. If we choose to evaluate your question empirically we run into other problems. Empiricism is based upon falsification. For example, if I propose a hypothesis, in order for that hypothesis to be scientific it must be falsifiable. I can never falsify god, and therefore to propose God as an explanation for something will never be scientific. Maybe we could evaluate your claim philosophically. Many people have tried to rationally demonstrate the existence of God and all have failed.
Where does this leave us? Empirical evidence = impossible; Philosophical reason for god = 0, Theological evidence = oxymoron.
Maybe the question, "Does god exist?" is without meaning and should be disregarded.

Why Should I or Any Person Answer you?? How Do we Know You Exist?? We Can't See You, If we did in 'real life' how do we not know you are a replication of the actual human body, a robot if you will. Yeah, You Don't Exist, You Never Got To Live, Because You Haven't had Life Yet (God)

Probability that God does not exist = 1 - probability that God exists. Very simple solution in case of monotheism.

You're using chance to "find out" whether or not someone is looking down on you? I think you've already 'answered' your question (Yes, God exists).

Greater than 99.99999999999999%. All these religious folks are banking on that one trillionth of a percentage point. I would have to say the chances of god existing are about equal to the chances of my entire body spontaneously quantum tunneling to Mars this evening.

About the same chance that there actually is a god. It's just about personal belief.
