I doubt that anyone can guarantee we're in charge of the other 5, either. If 5% is the optimistic scenario......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

To get to 1 in a googolplex, you would need to roll as many 20-sided dice as there are fundamental particles in the observable universe.
Thank you for the correction.
My point stands. Highly unlikely single events happen all the time, and need no design.
Perhaps a better example is the specific arrangement of molecules in the air of a room.
To be more specific, divide the room into 100 distinct volumes, and count the number of ways molecules can be distributed over those smaller volumes. While this doesn't get up to a googolplex, it is far, far larger than a googol.

$ echo '6^64' | bc | sed -e :a -e 's/\(.*[0-9]\)\([0-9]\{3\}\)/\1,\2/;ta'
63,340,286,662,973,277,706,162,286,946,811,886,609,896,461,828,096
So just under 10^50, or less than the square root of a googol.
BTW, cute script.

Bananaman Ray Comfort called this piece blasphemous and immediately kicked me away from his flock of pigeons. I've never been prouder.

Choice is selection, and snack machines make those too. Are snack machines free?
