What are the odds that our existence was possible due to pure chance?

I'm asserting that we are so infinitely insignificant in our scale, that what we do here on this tiny rock has no bearing whatsoever in the grandness of the universe. To think that some cosmological power gives a single fuck, let alone actively plays a role in our everyday life IS ABSURD TO ME!

We, as a phenomena, are just a result of one of the many possible things that can happen, have happened, are happening, and will happen in this universe. BUT THAT IS SO INCREDIBLE! Just looking at those stars, and comprehending that they are trillions upon trillions of miles away and apart from each other, yet connected by the photons that took billions of years to reach your retinas, is A W E S O M E!

Keeping in mind that the image above is a single galaxy, in the image below, every speck of light is a galaxy.
