And also, when you're talking about an event that's already happened, you don't have any choices or odds at all. The probability of one event happening is one hundred percent, given that it, you know, happened, and the odds for the other are zero percent, because it did not. Regardless of how probable anyone might think an event is in the main, those odds aren't at issue because we aren't actually determining what event might happen in future based on the odds. We're determining what has already happened, which is why you follow the physical evidence to form a conclusion based on what it suggests, not pick based on probabilities, even if you've accurately determined what those probabilities might be.
Basically, if I flip a coin and want to know how it landed, the way to do that is not to ignore the coin and assert that it must have landed on heads because it's more improbable that it would land on its edge instead.
