That really depends upon your definition of god.
The probability of a god along the lines of ancient societal gods is extremely unlikely …as many philosophers including Socrates thought they were ‘ ancestors ‘ not gods. Real men who founded societies turned into legends. But even though Socrates rejected the common gods of his time, in that they were in fact gods, he nevertheless did believe in something like a god.
The probability of a god along the lines of mainstream religion is extremely unlikely …as these gods are substantiated merely by their own sources…and have a history recorded in those sources of extremely violent and aggressive behavior…they are nothing more than a reflection of man…god in man’s image.
The probability of a god along the lines of a natural existing entity, that has some kind of design or purpose for man, and involves itself in man’s affairs is extremely unlikely, as there is no evidence to support this involvement.
The probability of a god along the lines of natural existing entity, along the lines of a ‘ master version of DNA or a ‘ master computer ‘ is extremely possible…but this type of entity would not be anything like any god we presently understand as a god. Likely it would be only concerned with the construction and maintenance of the Universe and not individual lives…I proposed this possibility many years ago and believe that eventually science will come to this or a similar determination….but science will call it something other than god.
