Hmmm... |
The one and only alternative to their being no god is that the universe
(through an infinite amount of big bangs, or simply stretches for
eternity/infinity) the inevitable happened. Right?

No, why should it?
There's no reason to assume an infinite amount of big bangs. We only know of
one.
There's no evidence that it stretches infinitely. The evidence indicates the
universe is finite but unbounded.
There's no evidence that it is eternal. It has simply lasted this long.
And there's no evidence that the universe was inevitable, only that it did
happen.

Around here (Baltimore MD USA), large trucks can be seen sporting "G.O.D."
It stands for Guaranteed Overnight Delivery. Must have been inevitable....
Or something.

Your statement/question does not make sense.
"the inevitable happened".
WTF???

It would largely depend on how you define a "god". As humans have commonly
understood the term throughout history, then no, you're not right. Defining a
god as commonly defined throughout human history, the alternate possibilities
are literally infinite. :-)

I'm probably feeding a troll, but...
Your statement makes no sense. Deleting the parentheses, you said "The
one and only alternative to their being no god is that the universe the
inevitable happened."
Makes as much sense as the bible, which is none.
If your contention is that with no god the universe is so improbable
that their must in fact be a god, then I would contend that an entity
powerful enough to create such a universe is even more improbable.
