Nope, you got it. That's why casinos don't work to evolutionary principles. And yes, atoms, molecules etc tend to combine in certain structures according to their nature; all of which skew the probabilities.
Interestingly, I was walking on the beach at Newquay the other day, during a surprise lull in the storm, and I was struck by the incredible order of it all. Sure, there were irregularities, but in general the particles of sand were always near the water, while larger pebbles, rocks and boulders were arranged in increasing order of size depending on their distance from the shoreline. What are the odds of this happening all at once by blind chance?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
