whether this was an 'accidental' or 'conscious' occurrence is the disparity
atheist can't prove universal laws preexist but choose to do so
theist can't prove God preexists but choose to do so
neither have to be justified in their beliefs because they CAN'T be justified - evidence/proof probability certainty etc - are tools for explaining what we know & are impotent in this context

So, 50/50 chance then is it? Either I am 30 metres tall, or I am not 30 metres tall? Cool. Better ring the guinness book of world records, there is a 50/50 chance that I am in fact 30 metres tall!
