And yes, the odds of the human body, even as created by evolution as opposed to randomly thrown together, are probably pretty low, perhaps fantastically low (but you might at least try to find a citation that actually quotes your number whatever it is). So are the odds of any other animal in particular. But it doesn't prove much of anything. You see even though the odds are against it for any one person, the odds are almost 100% that someone will win the lottery.
If you don't get this, look at it this way: if there were an intelligent designer (and there's no evidence of that), the odds that he would choose to make any particular animal would be equally fantastic. Actually, given the vestigial organs and other design flaws in most animals, the odds against would be even higher given an intelligent designer--but who's counting 10 to 1000 here or there anyway?
Try thinking first and post again.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
