You sound like you are contradicting yourself. If you hate the people who say we're here by accident then why bring up Probablity by sayin it's highly probable. Probability needs aberrations or accidents, if it didn't have them it would be a certainty.

Why even bring up Evolution, that needs accidents, too. For Evolution to work, it needs an anomaly to occur in a species that would help it to adapt better to the new environment giving it an edge over those that don't have it. How does these anomalies occur, but by accident. I think you secretly love those people who believe were here by accident, because you are really proving their case for them.
