Fundies Will Be Shitting Bricks

First of all, I am not just arguing against unlikely events happening, I am arguing against the the likelihood of statistically impossible events from happening. Your analogy is completely false though. First of all, we know that sperm uniting with eggs produce humans naturally. We have never observed amino acids to naturally align without the presence of DNA. So that alone makes abiogenesis just a form of storytelling. Secondly, you have retroactively defined yourself as the necessary outcome after you already knew it happened. If I told you an event happened in the past but you knew the probability of this event actually occurring was 1 in 10^600 you’d be crazy to take my word for it.
I mean if we are going to play this game we can just believe anything.
“I don’t believe in big foot.”
“Oh really why not?”
“Well I just think the chances of a creature of that size never leaving any testable physical evidence is just too small.”
“Are you fallaciously arguing against the occurrence of unlikely events? Let me give you an analogy about sperm my friend!”
In your world DNA evidence would never be accepted in a court of law because the chances of it being one of the other 5 people on Earth with similar DNA is far greater than 1 in 10^600! Maybe defense attorneys need to just start giving the jury your little sperm analogy, somehow I get the feeling it would convince them about as much as it convinced me.

The argument about sperm is a poor one and that was the whole point. You can't just say that because the a priori probability of something is small, it can't have happened.

This really just goes to show that unregenerate sinners will believe absolutely anything rather than admitting there is a God who owns them.

Didn't you know, all atheists really know that the abrahamic god exists, we're just angry with him and trying to hurt him by pretending to think that we don't believe in him...
