For everyone who argues that it seems incredible that random chance could have produced us, think about it. Only that series of events from the big bang forward could have produced us. If it had happened differently, we wouldn't be arguing about it. We will never know about the vast majority of times that things went differently elsewhere, and it's entirely possible that they never happened near enough to the same anywhere that we will be able to loacte within the life of our species to produce another species that would ask these questions.
So the intelligent design thing is a spurious argument. So the chances against us happening are one in a gazillion. So what? The universe has a gazillon gaziliion chances, and if one of them hadn't come up with us, then the point is moot.
I'd be really careful about taking scentific advice from folks who thought the world was a flat place at the center of the universe, which is exactly what you are doing if you take Genesis as word for word literal.
