Lets Break the Numbers

Have you often seen yourself faced with odds against you? Well, a show called "Million 2 One" showed me that the odds are not always right. Take for example:
What do you think the odds that:
The Universe began with a big bang,
Formed the milky Way Galaxy,
Formed the solar System,
kept earth in the perfect position for life,
Made life possible through comets,
allowed life to grow,
evolve,
and make humans
are?

Well, if we didn't know better, we would say it wasn't possible.

That isn't enough to prove the point? Well, I've got more:
what is the chance that someone could lose a ring when they were young,
think that they lost it,
get on with life for the next 32 years,
and then find it,
of all places,
inside an APPLE?
The chance of that happening is 1/2,000,000,000. And it actually happened.

Here's a last one:
what is the chance that you were walking home,
assaulted by robbers,
stolen from,
knocked out,
and left on the road.
When you wake up the next morning,
you go to the doctor,
have an x-ray,
and find out that you are alright.
Then,
Five years later,
you get blindness in the right eye and a terrible headache,
so you go to the doctor again,
and find out that you have a CHOPSTICK stuck up your nose,
3 mm from your brain (which means fatal death),
and getting it out?
First of all, you had to be assaulted by a guy who was holding a chopstick. Second, it had to miss the attention of the first doctor. And finally, you shouldn't show symptoms until 5 years later.
Wanna know?
its a whopping
1/5,000,000,000!!!
I hope you don't complain again that the odds are against you!
Just remember:
You were either created by God,
or by the Greatest Coincidence ever!
(In fact, based on the numbers, you shouldn't exist.)
So you've beaten the largest number possible.
Now its time to beat the  (relatively) small ones!
