The argument of chance operates as a modified argument of the cosmological wishful thinking - The world is so perfect that the chance of god existing is high. What is the chance we would be here today, alive and breathing, with accessible living conditions and happy lives if it wasn't for god? Why does the earth exist and why is the universe so complex and fascinating? ---> This constitutes an argument from incredulity and is not valid, and it misses the point when you are arguing for a specific religion because even if we needed a god that argument doesn't prove if this god is the one.

A lot of what are the chances stems from ignorance regarding science and how the universe operates. Additionally this argument can be used in different circumstances:

- What are the chances someone magically recovered from a deadly illness? It has to be a miracle?
- What are the chances our lives are meaningless? It can't be!
- My prayer worked, what are the chances of god no existing? He exists!
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
