Does my explanation of our existence make sense?

Asked by simone54 (7629points) March 11th, 2014

The odds of life being able to start life on Earth then becoming what humans are today are beyond huge. It required a series of absolutely perfect events to occur. I don’t know the actual number but for this instance let’s just say chances for life are one in one trillion (1:1,000,000,000,000).

In other words; you have a trillion sided die. If you roll the number one, you get everything perfect enough to eventually have humans on Earth. It would probably take a long time to roll that one. However, if you had infinity amount of time it would be inevitable.

Does this make sense?
