Question: Is there any chance of there being a higher power/powers?

Yes. Strictly speaking, science is pretty much all about probability, never certainty. Let’s say we make a scientific conclusion that we are pretty sure about, like cigarettes cause cancer. If a scientist says this is certain, this is just a short way of saying that I’m 99.99999% certain. Other things that we are really certain of are the same – but you can never be completely certain. For example, everyone thought Newton was totally right about the physical laws that explain how the planets go round the sun, but then actually Einstein came along and pointed out that Newton wasn’t entirely correct.

So seeing as we have no evidence at all the existence of God (people that believe in God do so on “faith”, i.e. a belief in something they don’t have strong evidence for), then I would say that God doesn’t exist. But, that’s basically a short way of saying I’m like 99.9999999% sure God doesn’t exist.

This is why when atheists paid to get a message put on the side of busses in London, it said “God _probably_ doesn’t exist”.
