You could do it that way but then the question is just the priors for the probability that X has those traits. You can’t say. “It would be a lot easier for God to do all of the things we think he needs to do if he was omnipotent therefore it is more likely that God is omnipotent. Adding properties to God that increase His complexity have to decrease the probability that He exists otherwise we’re always going to be ascribing super powers to the entities we posit since they never make it harder for those entities to accomplish the tasks we need them to. Now I suppose if you could deduce that God has those traits then you would be providing evidence that X had those traits with a probability of 1. Thats pretty remarkable but anyone is free to have at it.
So either you’re putting a huge burden on your evidence to prove that there is some X such that X has these traits OR you have to start out with an extremely low prior.
