The same astronomical chances can be said for you being the sperm that found the egg. Of all the ancestors in human history, and all the times dudes nutted and didn't get your relatives pregnant, a perfect unbroken string reaches all the way back to your primordial parents. Everything had to line up EXACTLY perfect for you to be born, and for the internet to be created, and for me to actually be typing this message to you. Yet, here we are, through the odds, and still perfectly explainable through natural occurrences. A personal god isn't needed.
"Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here."

In the case of exponential odds for my existence...
It might be the proof that there is no God, considering all the better people who could have possibly been born, yet HERE I AM.
The world got screwed.

You realize you make my argument stronger with this statement, right? The astronomical chances for the 10,000 or so chemical reactions to successfully and completely happen during the 9 months of conception/pregnancy is outrageous. But in order for the universe to be created, and earth to have life, is an even greater statistical improbability. Its the equivalent (as stated in the article) of flipping a coin 10 quadrillion times and it landing on heads every time. And your supposedly reasonable and ration explanation is "ah, the wonders of random chance"?
