Yes, it’s possible. It’s just not very likely.

There’s a big difference between ‘possible’ and ‘probable’ … It’s possible that there is a God. It’s also possible that there are thousands. Just like it’s possible the moon will self-destruct tomorrow evening. But none of these things are very probable.

Science works because of predictive probability. We generate ideas and then test them to the point where we can predict, with high accuracy, what is and what will be. Religion, on the other hand, has a horrible track record of making valuable truth claims. It can do good things and it can lead people to do good things… but none of that reflects whether or not its claims about reality are actually true. Given that, throughout history, religion’s claims about the nature of reality have been proven false time and time again, I find it much more ‘probable’ that its remaining claims are also false.
