What argument are you referring to here?
The staggering odds of the Big Bang happening (if odds can even be involved, as there is much we do not even know about how it happened, however I'm trying to stray away from a God of the Gaps argument so take this aside with grain of salt), the staggering odds of the galaxies forming the way they did, to our galaxy forming the way it did, to our star to our planet to being able to sustain life to then the spark that started life to then all the evolution of life that had to survive to lead to us. You don't necessarily have to fit God into the gaps to know how some of this stuff works, but the odds remain absolutely staggering. And some theists make the argument that a creator is more probable than not under these staggering odds.
That's essentially the crux of the argument.
