So it's "edgy" to disagree with you now, Mav?

You are, however, the one claiming he doesn't exist.
While still hedging by referencing the high likelihoods he doesn't exist.
Hell, I don't think Arkolon's even been arguing towards existence of God, merely that such is a possibility that can't be confirmed or denied (with current abilities).
Which makes one's hedging their proclamations of 'there is no god' with 'probably's' become a bit problematic for those arguing with him.

It does mean that there is a chance he exists, and because God's phase space cannot be turned into real space (as God can only exist in phase space), you cannot say that God objectively isn't, because, and you literally just admitted it, there is a chance he is.
God is a permanent hypothetical. You cannot say he exists just as much as you cannot say he does not exist.

The 0.00001% chance means that God's existence is ultimately unknowable. But there is no absolutely certain knowledge, so everything is ultimately unknowable.

Unless you're actually saying "Sure. Okay." but pretending to say it in a sarcastic way to convince yourself you're right while knowing you aren't.
