A small probability means a finite probability.  Maybe the universe
developed the right combination of chemicals a few minutes after the
'big bang.' That seems a lot more probable then having gotten here by
having some God say 'poof! life exists!'

As to what i have to say about all this: i say that if your example
and reasoning and numbers are valid, and the Raional Materialists are
correct, then the chance that there is life in the universe which has
a separate origin from ours, is very small.
