Even if all that is correct, so what?
It's unlikely, so it was done by magic? Doesn't follow. It's a false dichotomy between life coming about "randomly" as you'd call it, and a supernatural creator. Those are not the only two options. How did you rule out that this is a computer simulation? How did you rule out aliens coming in from a parallel dimension and starting off life? And you haven't ruled out it happening by chance either, you're just saying it is unlikely.
Life has happened, therefor it is possible. Tracking the likelihood backwards proves nothing.
