Sort of a complicated question, I'll try to ask. How was I born me and not another?

I mean never existing.

It still doesn't make any sense.  If "you" never existed, then we wouldn't be able to calculate the odds because we wouldn't have a "you" to use in the numerator.  You can't calculate a probability when one of the variables is a giant "unknown" or "incoherence".
