You know creationists get desperate when they start quoting odds.
Oh well, the chances of two atoms lining up perfectly to start forming as rock is astronimical. The chances of three or more even more so.
Yet it happens.

Matey, them statistics look impressive! (We won't talk about the fact that the odds reflect 1x simultaneous event and not the billions of evolutionary changes happening at the same time on early earth).
It's not the stats which bothers us, it's the fact that you believe them!
How can any of us grown adults look someone in the eye and say:
Yes, I have an imaginary friend in the sky, yes, there's no evidence but I can feel it in my heart. Then proceed to tell us stuff from the old testament which goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. I seriously cannot fathom how a healthy adult human being can say pathetically unrealistic things like that and even worse, believe them themselves...
Surely you jest.....
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
