No, I can’t. Heuristics are a kind of algorithms that provide not optimal but adequate results. “Adequate” here means “sufficient for a particular real-life purpose”.
I don’t see how proclaiming that the probability of Zeus existing is 10^-12 is a heuristic.
You can call it heuristics, if you want to...

Intuition (or educated guesses like the ones referred to here), fall under the umbrella of heuristics.
In what way are you arguing that the number I gave for the existence of Zeus is insufficient for a particular real-life purpose?
