Why are we here... living on a spec of dust that rotates around a ball of burning gases (sun), which is so small, it cannot be seen while viewing our Milky Way Galaxy as a whole? Not to mention, our Galaxy is only one among billions of others occupying this vast nothingness we call "space". What is our purpose? How did we get here? Was it by accidental chance? Mathematically, most scientists and scholars (atheist and theist alike) agree that the chance of the universe supporting life is astronomical. Most I've found claim that the chance is 1 in 10 to the 92nd power (that's the number 1 followed by 92 zeros). What does that look like? It's 1 in 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000. Lets put this into a percentage. Well, when trying to use multiple calculators, the answers were all the same = NaN%. At first, I didn't know what that meant, so I googled it and come to find out it means "Not a Number".
So, the chances of you being able to live and read this blog are so small it cannot be calculated as a number. Would it be safe to say that it's practically 0%? How then, are you living and breathing to read this? Could it be that there is an Intelligent Designer behind our existence? Did some being create existence? If so, who is this being?

The claim that the universe is improbable is simply false. There cannot even be such a calculation, because there is no reason to believe that the universe (specifically it's physical constants) could be any different. If it cannot be any different, then the probability that it is the way it is comes to exactly 1 in 1. Do you have reason to believe such parameters could be different?
It would have been helpful if you could have linked to a source for your calculation, so that interested readers could see how such a thing was calculated. Good advice to anyone discussing contentious ideas: always check your sources.
