What are the Odds there's a God?

Depends on how you define "exist". If you mean what are the odds of God existing as an external force or person? I prefer not to think about things like that, because I believe it's impossible to know.
But is there a God that exists within the human psyche? I think the success of religion should be an answer enough for that.

God as inherently extant entities, as opposed to human creations? About one chance in a million, perhaps.
Practically proved non-existent, if you are refering to the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Bahai Faith, who is cannonically self-contradictory, demonstrably insane and morally bankrupt.

Since it my understanding that the concept of 'god' refers to the one eternal and omnipresent EXISTENCE in which all that exists have their existence, then FWIW ascribing odds, it's 10 out of 10.

If you mean not in a sense that it exists to people who believe in it and that it actually exists I'd say the odds are 0/10.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
There is as much chance of a god existing, as a god not existing. It merely depends on your perspective.
10/10
Because I have had experiences which offer no other option... except insanity...

insanity could be more fun though!!
The only thing that I can say with any certainty is that if there is a God then the odds are very high that it is a very odd God.

Even insanity is a human chosen word. What you meant is different from default.
Besides, "no other options" and "except" is the same as "at least one option".
I always say 80% not existing. But those are just worthless numbers. Just to point oiut that I am way more atheistic than theistic, but am not stuck to that though.
As everybody has a different concept of God, it's imposible to give that one number.
That is all...

about 1/10000000000 due to rounding error. Take it to 3 figures and its 0/100.

So, wishfull thinking contributes around 0.79? That's not much

What maths are you using :areyoucra So by your calculations, Pi is actually equal to 3.79 as well?
Oy vey - a 10 out of 10 chance that "EXISTENCE (sic!) in which all that exists have their existence" exists! Now there's a conviction one can truly appreciate ... :banghead3
I wouldn't.

The universal kind..
1x10^-10%
You are using 10 to the power of -10%
10% equals 0.1
-10% equals -0.1
10^(-0.1) = 0,79..........
Now how did you go from Pi to 3.79?

This is the same as saying, 'What are the odds that you're going to have a child?' Just because you have sex, doesn't mean that you're going to conceive a child through it.
It depends on how far your belief in God goes if you ask me. I believe in God, so I think the odds are pretty high. But to an Atheist, the odds will be pretty low. It's swings and roundabouts.
