You really should change your title to "Feet to the Fire holder". I love the way you are dogged in your questions.

the argument where Christians pull a number out of their ass saying "what are the chances of a universe like this existing without a god" or something similar.

Lawrence Krauss said it best nothing is simply unstable and then something exists. Ill bring up a video.

The best way to explain the argument is to say that creationists are stupid.

That's actually a feature of their manifesto:

Creation.com Wrote:By definition, therefore, no interpretation of facts in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record.

Gee, I wonder what their conclusions will be? Angel

Without bothering to get something as tiresome as peer review, I'm sure. And by peer review I don't mean other creationist tinfoilers but the actual scientific community.
