I see patterns in the coincedences that some have called wishfull thinking. If it's not random what is it, evolution? How many planets out of the billions do we calculate are inhabitable? What is the likelyhood that we are the most advanced if not only species? What are the odds that out of billions of planets, we would evolve from something animalistic into a coherent self-aware being? Yes, as a species we struggle to survive and overcome adversity, but explain the anomaly of humainty, please?
No matter how unlikely, if there is a chance then it can happen. What is the likelyhood of us being the only life forms? Well it's very small. Chances of another race of advanced beings? Very high. Do you know how many suns there are in space? Also can you contemplate the amount of planets orbiting them? There are more suns in space than there is all the grands of sand on earth. Can you imagine how much sand there is on this planet and yet the amount of suns in space greatly out number all the sands of earth. So what are the chances of other life forms like us? Well I'd say it's a very high possibility. It's not unlikely that we are the only ones and in fact it's very likely that there are many billions out there.
We cannot comprehend the size of our own solar system let alone the universe. Chances/coincidences are normal and your very existence proves it. What do you think the chances were of you not existing? You are going to have to times all the people, all the time (like year, month, week, day ect ect) times all the sperm you are going to compete with then you should have your answer of your chances of existence. One minute differance in your family no matter what the timeline could of easily prevented you from existing. Can you contemplate the sheer chances that were stacked against you and yet despite that you are here. But because you are here someone else will never be given the chance of existence. Coincidence and chances are at play all the time. So like I said before, god is not needed. Just because it functions in a way that we delusional people will see as some design doesn't mean it is so. Adding god into the equation just raises more questions. No matter how slim the chance, if there is a chance then it will happen. Our very existence is evidence of that.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
