You're assuming that unicorns exist on Earth.  In a universe the size of ours, there's a distinct possibility that another Earth-like planet may have developed favorable to life, and that horses there have a horn.  At least that's a coherent narrative.  And, yes God is presumed not to be physically present in the world.  The most obvious explanation for that is that gods don't exist.

That's leaving aside the scads of documentary evidence of unicorns in literature and art throughout human history.[/quote]

Well yes, I'm arguing that God is more likely than unicorns on earth.  I agree with you that unicorns are more likely if we include the entire universe.

"The most obvious explanation for that is that gods don't exist."  But we aren't arguing for obvious explanations.  We're arguing the relative improbability.  At least God has a reason for not being seen.  Do unicorns have a similar reason?  As for the documentary evidence, if we were to credit it God would surely win.[/quote]

Okay, let's play "Why haven't we seen unicorns on earth?"  It's because we're looking in the wrong place:  they've got gills, and they live in the deep oceans.  Either that or there are only a very few left, and they're tended (and kept hidden) by a secretive sect of religious fanatics in a remote area of Turkey.  Heck, I could go on all day.

As far as "documentary evidence", I agree with you that obviously neither medieval tapestries with unicorns on them or the various "holy books" written by men through the ages are evidence of anything--other than that folks like to spin a good yarn.[/quote]
