If the probabilities have been ironed out, why do the theists still keep making these same arguments?

The two arguments made by them:

Human has a very very tiny probability to be formed through random mutaions(Eventually)

Certain Values of physical properties, if altered by a very very small fraction, will cause the present life to not exist.

These are almost more in the realm of Mathematics and philosophy rather than Science. So we sure can reason it out
The trouble is that *most* people (myself included) are not that good at maths.
And the theists keep using the same argument because they work from the wrong direction (ie: the chance at the beginning is unlikely, whereas the chance at the end is certain) and so to them it is *obvious* that it is unlikely. The trouble is, as with a lot of things, that obvious solutions are not necessarily right.
