Probability has nothing to do with anything.
There are natural, rational explanations for those things, MK. Even if we don't fully understand how they came to be, we are coming closer to understanding how they work.
There is no question that these things are fantastic, awe inspiring, and we would like to look at them as being on some higher plane, but there is no evidence to suggest that that is the case.
Too amazing? Argument from Incredulity. Just because you don't understand or cannot grasp these things, doesn't mean they have supernatural origin. Also, the idea that things have more meaning when there aren't natural, biological origins for the feelings/experiences behind them is spurious. While some might think it's nicer to think that way, that fact alone lends no veracity to the claim.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
