Default Re: Question for atheists

Also, why are you only interested in atheist responses? A reasonable theist would probably come to the same conclusion that P(alien) = P(Creator) = ?!?. They might want to believe it was their Creator burning bushes to show off, but they would be unable to assign probabilities for the same reason.

More specifically, if God chose to reveal Himself to us, would it be possible to know it wasn't trickster aliens? Seems like any entity with supernatural** powers holds all the cards as far as our perception goes. Is there a perceivable difference for humans between God and god-like?

**Supernatural is probably not the best word since this entity could be using extra-dimensional abilities that are natural, but outside of our mental grasp.
