Theoretical physics shows "irreducible complexity" arguments invalid.

Theoretical physics shows "irreducible complexity" arguments invalid.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something about chance, but what's the difference between a statistically extremely unlikely event happening and the possibility of such events being observed?

It's still a statistical probability, and no further reason would be required, other than for personal incredulity: Not unlike the possibility of life arising from inert matter.

No matter how remote, the possibility existed, and if life did arise in such a way, the remoteness of the probability has no bearing on the event having or have not occurred.
