Probabily concerns reality. Probability attempts to calculate the odds/chance that a certain outcome will arrive based on known inputs and known mechanisms. You misused probabilty by invoking unknown inputs (creators of any sort) and ignored the creation method; therefore, your probability is meaningless.
Take the often used example of rolling a die (cube). The input is the die and its characteristics. The mechanism/process is the person rolling the die. We know there are six potential outcomes. The probability of rolling any one of the six is 1/6. We can then get fancy and figure the probability of rolling a certain number with a certain number of rolls.
This methodology cannot apply to non-existents. This is what is wrong with your assignment of probability to imagined creators. No input and no mechanism.
