I see this come up a LOT and I've even gone over the subject previously! But I needed to put my words here to explain how I see that life is not only probable - insofar as we have direct evidence of life existing here on Earth. But is, I think, more likely than a good selection of folk would care to accept.
Understanding 'Chance'
Let's start by understanding 'chance'. Think of probability as the likelihood of a particular event happening out of all the possible events.
Think of probability as how likely something is to happen.

Upon reading another atheism =/= nihilism post on Google+ I responded with the following, I think, perhaps for the first time ever, I've managed to capture a big part of why I think the way I do about gods etc. I thought I'd post it here to share:
Here's a fun fact, none of what any human has ever done will have any lasting impact in the reality in which we find ourselves.
The greatest artwork will fade.
The most profound thoughts ever written will crumble and rot.
The most fantastic music will fall silent.
The most brilliant cities will fall...

Another Google plus special review...
Let's crack into it.
From a chap called Adam Dobrin that places the claim: "I think I've found a verifiable pattern that links ancient scripture, history, music, and Holy words... "
like hundreds of people before him he's seen the pattern that nobody else can see! Better yet he has a 'verifiable pattern' - I'll be sure to undertake a verification of this later.

From Google Plus: "Science Fact; Acording to the Law of Probability!... Do you Think 4.55 Billions years is Enough For Human Kind To Evolved ... Give Data To Support It ... i will use your Model to win the Lottery..."
Here are my thoughts on why this essentially boils down to gamblers fallacy.
But let me put my thoughts down so you can see why I've come to this result.
Let's have a look at how I would build a probability of model of life occurring:

This post for: Shiva Kumar
I would like to apologize for the length of this post, but I hope to highlight in as simple a way possible my reasoning for arguing against your position.
I remove god from the equation of creation by applying a reasoning tool known as Occam's Razor, I'll try to explain 'my version' of this-
[ link to an article on Occam's Razor here - http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Occam's_razor ]
As I see things you would state that the order of creation is thus:
1. there was nothing

I've been busy doing other things, and have fallen away from my 'anti-theistic' tendencies, but nonetheless I've added an additional page which is a repost of another Blog I found.
It handles some details of genesis and the how and why of the discrepancies against scientific principles. It will come in handy as reference in the future should I need it.
Science Fact Vs Bible Fiction
I've also added a link to another Blog I found and one which seems to merge quite well with my own style:

For John Omoluabi
This is a dissection of the article you had linked : http://www.christianitytoday.com/ how i almost lost bible
perhaps it is with some irony that the action of linking this article as some form of evidence is in itself somewhat logically fallacious.
While I have used the appropriate name for fallacy where found I have not explained in detail why, but (rather foolishly) I take the position that the details of why are...
