You laid out a wonderful example of how you came to be by chance and that makes you doubt that you came to be by chance?
That's correct, the more unlikely something becomes the more unlikely I view it to be chance.
If I hit a jackpot on a slot machine in Vegas 100 times in a row I would start to believe something was up. I couldn't comprehend that happening naturally so I would assume someone had control of the situation.

I'm a Christian
but you clearly don't understand how statistics work.
The way a system with as many complex variables such as genetics works (or birth) is that there is a 100% chance that an outcome will occur (barring extinction) that has astronomical odds of NOT happening.
in other words, if you weren't born there is a 100% chance that someone would be, and the more people that exist the larger these seemingly impossible odds occur.
or. to think about it another way, no team right now has a greater % chance than maybe 5% to win the national championship, but SOMEONE will. Does that mean God cares about football? what about leaves on a tree?
this argument for agnostics or Christians really bothers me because it's not logical at all.
