You can't 'fix the universe'. You can at most change the properties of small parts of reality -- and that can only be accomplished by accepting and acting in accordance to the nature of reality.

If you don't like the nature of reality, you'd better try to change what you like.

What probability do you guys assign to the god hypothesis being true?

Incoherent 'hypotheses' cannot be assigned a probability; they are, so to speak, "not even wrong".

P(Christian God exists) = vanishingly small. Does that answer your question, random_guy?
