I think "accident" is a poor choice of wording here.

Given the chemical makeup of the infant universe (predominately hydrogen, with some helium and a trace of lithum), and the means by which heavier elements form (nuclear fusion and radioactive decay) and are distributed (supernovae), the nature of the elements that could and would form was and is deterministic.

No accident, no "chance", and no probability. No design, no designer, and no creator.

It was inevitable.

@OP - I'm not going to say this is elementary physics, chemistry or cosmology, but it's pretty damn close.

P.S. You're conflating cosmology and biology. Don't do that. They have little to do with one another, at least not in the way that you imply.
