You're approaching the situation in the wrong way.
Probability doesn't work in situations that are eternal and absoloute, God either is or God isn't.
As such it is not a matter of probability, but a matter of view and faith.
Religion cannot be analyzed by the numbers; it is something that transcends math.

Nope! The evidence tips the scales towards likely. Don't know what your take on the subject is, but it's amazing how non-believers would answer this question as YES, yet they would answer it as NO when referring to let's say....the existence of life on Mars or any other planet as far as that goes, although there is not evidence of it. I was watching a special the other day on the science channel and it was amazing to me how many scientists are certain that life exists in some kind of form on other planets although they have NO actual evidence to verify.

No. Existence 100%. Non-existence 0%.

No. It is a misunderstood concept. Just because God may or may not exist. That doesn't make the probability of God existing 50%. You can't speak about things whose existence can never be proven or disproven in terms of probability.

No.
Is the existence of a teapot in orbit around the sun between the orbits of the Earth and Mars equal in probability as it's non-existence?
It is much less likely that God exists than that he does exist.

some people say the odds of us being here by chance are too large and therefore proves that god exists

In my mind there is only 100 percent chance God exist....I have no doubts at all....not the least.....
Is Satan real?? You bet!! As much as God is real....100 percent chance he is real.
LISTEN TO THIS......We grew in our mothers womb getting ready for a transition....some made it safely and others did not....some were maimed...
Now we are in mother earths womb growing spiritually...getting ready for another transition....some will make it safely and others won't....some will make the portals of heaven others won't.

It's not even close!
The non-existence of God is by far the most likely.

No, God is more likely.

No there are too many fulfilled prophesy's for it to be likely He doesn't exists. It is not equal. The odds or for not against and that would be a better bet in Vegas.
