What's the lamest defence of Theism you've ever heard?

The existence of you in a similar, but not unlikely earth is far more unlikely. By all mathematical reasoning, you shouldn't exist, and at this point in your time and place there would be someone (or thing) entirely different. With or without your imagineered god, the unlikely happens, again and again. It's just really awesome what unlikely conditions, materials, and plenty of time can achieve!

It's not the same thing. Improbable events happen all the time, but the question is, if only one or few of these improbable events lead to the desired affect, then how likely is it that the affect in question will spontaneously be achieved? For example. What if you were the only viable version of a human. You could have infinite tries to try to get a human like you, but the fact is that it won't happen again because there aren't enough probabalistic resources.
