Actually, if you view it from physical cosmology, the chances become geometrically more remote. There is a value called the critical density (designated as omega) -- the ratio of the amount of gravitational energy density and its opposite (tensile) energy density attributed to lambda or the cosmological constant.The idea is that to derive a space-time geometry that we are observing today, this ratio ought to be very close to one plus or minus 10^-31. Beyond this value, the geometry quickly reduces to either a spherical or psuedo-spherical geometry and the universe couldn't possibly exist for 13 billion years and counting -- the amount of time necessary for matter and energy to synthesize everything you can see today.That is, to put it in layman's terms, a lottery jackpot of cosmic proportions -- a statistical aberration equivalent to winning the lottery jackpot for one straight week. It is like the initial conditions of the big bang were somehow pre-determined.Tell me, if you encounter a person who won the jackpot of the lottery for a week straight, what are you inclined to believe -- he is extremely lucky or he somehow cheated?
