His explanation was all by accident.

In order for the things to collide, they need to exist in the first place. If they exist, which they do then they must be coming from a source, since existence only can come from an existing being. So accepting the existence necessitates accepting a source of existence. It does not make sense to refer the existence to a concept that does not exist-like accident. There is existence not accident nor chance. So the existence of a source of this universe is more certain then the existence of the universe.

As a few other people have commented, the chance of ME existing is 100%. The question “What are the chances of ME existing?” refers to a specific individual, ME. The question can only be asked, then, if I do, in fact, exist. In a world where I do not exist, no questions can be asked about ME, since those questions would refer to nothing. For this reason, questions regarding the chances of a thing existing cannot be asked of things with specified, unique identities.

It depends on the initial conditions you are aware of and the point in time and your mode of calculation. Yes, you can come up with a probability of a future event. Bookies do it all the time. The probability that you come up with is not OBJECTIVE - because we can never include all the variables - but SUBJECTIVE - only including the variables that we can. Bookies often get it wrong and lose money. Stock brokers often get it wrong and lose money. Generals often get it wrong and lose the battle/war.. Once you do exist, it's 100%. Before you existed, it becomes increasingly small as you go back in time. After the football game has ended, who won is 100%. Before the game, different bookies will come up with different probabilities. Investors gamble all the time. Government programs gamble all the time.

The thing that first convinced me of life being an accident is just that we're in the only orbit where life is possible. Any closer to the sun and life can't exist yet any further away from it you still get nothing. Then you had to hope that a planet forms in that orbit. And even with that, you had to hope organic chemistry develops. There's just so many ways thing could have gone wrong before you even get to single celled organisms.

The very moment that every particle popped into existence and spun off on their trajectories was the moment that everything that is came into being. We can take note of individual events along the path that lead to us but we would run out of numbers before we named even a fraction.

Probably one of the best hypotheticals I’ve ever heard, that goes hand in hand with this video, is the lottery. Let’s say you have a bag of 100 lottery balls, numbered 1-100. You reach in and grab a random ball. Now, your reaction to what you drew will be determined by the information given to you either before or after you drew the numbered ball. For example, let’s say you drew #33. Probably won’t mean anything to you, initially. But, if I say “OMG! Congratulations! That’s the ball you were SUPPOSED to draw!!!”, you’ll immediately start thinking in your head “wow! What are the chances!” And (if you’re a Theist), you’ll probably thank God for the miracle he just performed. If I tell you before you draw, that the #33 is the winning ball and you draw it. Even better! MORE miraculous! A lot of the reaction we have is attributed to what we know about this hypothetical lottery. Life is the same way. For a Theist, they look at life and think it’s the end result that was MEANT to be. There is no randomness. Their #33 has been drawn since the beginning. But for the rest of us, we understand that life is “a bag of balls” and there is no winning #. There is just randomness. Drawing #33 (life) is just what it is. It could have been any #. Another way to look at is as a mathematical equation. I view life as the summation of all that came before it. If we could start over and had the same conditions for hat brought us here, we’d end up with us here again. However, a Theist will look at the RESULT, ignore the rest of the preceding equation before it, and claim that us being here is the ANSWER. And then they work backwards from that. No wonder they think everything happened for a reason: they are privileged with a kind of faith that told them that #33 (us), was the winning #. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Solid reference

This just brings me right back to the song "The greatest show on earth" by Nightwish which has this spoken section in it "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place, but who will in fact never see the light of day, outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this. Because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA So massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of those stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds. How dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state From which the vast majority have never stirred?"

A CHANCE is a CHOICE; بخت and گزیدن are corresponding of these two words in Persian which is language of answers to all questions. بخت and وخت both mean time and rearranging of گزیدن letters will yield the word زندگی which means life. So, yes; everything is by chance which means they take place just in that arranged time.

I think everything is predictable if you have the capacity to run the data. It’s just that’s it’s such a large unfathomable amount that we attribute accidents and unique events as random. Nothing is random, everything is predetermined.

When the odds of me existing are that high, then the odds of any number of other scenarios are just as likely if not more.

I can explain it… it’s because when we die, we come back. Catch is we don’t remember our past lives. Our brain becomes aware as it develops. Once our brain becomes aware, it begins to build an identity because our brain is divided. What I mean is when you die it’ll be just like you never died because the next brain that becomes aware could be your conscience but it’s new. It’s a new body. It’s a new brain so you won’t remember your past. It’s not like you’re going to visit your past graves, we are antenna. It’s pretty difficult to explain. It’s like our brains before it develops. It’s like an empty cassette. The cassette will not know its existence until it’s filled with enough data to become aware once it becomes aware it creates its own identity. I will die now the next brain that becomes aware it could be me again. Only thing is I won’t remember my past life, but it will be like I never died. That’s why it’s difficult to fathom of not existing forever because we do exist forever. The thing is we don’t remember our past. We only remember from the time that we become aware. We are all the same conscience. It’s only one conscience. The thing is since our brains are divided we develop different identities but it’s all the same conscience from something that didn’t have any data no memory, nothing and building, memory and data and all that and building this identity and self-awareness it’s the same self-awareness every time when we come back. Basically you and I are one and we’ve been here already.

But the question is how life started from nonliving things and what about consciousness? we can explain the materials but unfortunately, there is no clear evidence of where life and consciousness come to make our material body evolve according to time needs. we can easily understand how we are born but how and who gives soul and consciousness to a body and the only answer is that there is a creator for all these.

It is natural for people's brains to fill-in-the-blanks for missing information. It is often expressed via survival and can be tested and retested ending with consistent results. It is far better to not conclude anything without sufficient evidence and to just say "I do not know." Certainly, there is nothing inheritly wrong with searching for answers and throwing out some possibility, but to label things as facts when the facts are not known, is putting the cart before the horse.

There is no evidence for a "soul". It's a philosophical concept not a biological one. As for consciousness I think that to we overstate. Consciousness is likely an illusion of our brain that evolved over time. We weren't magically bestowed with it. Life starting at all... well that does seem to be rare and hard.... but there is also a whole lot of stuff out there .

No chance involved. Consciousness is a force that creates us.

Says who?

Our existence might be by our own choice, When I think that the human being is not only the body and tge material visual look that we see , when the scientists proved that each of us has his own aura that made me think that we might be much more than a body . Maybe our functional body is just a tool to coop with this period of life , with that material and visual universe, for a certain purpose. As we always hear that everything happens for a reason ( then why our existence wouldn't happen for a reason? ) Maybe our consciousness and the limited things we can think of or deal with is just because our tool ( body ) Was made for that limited reason . Maybe when the body dies , the soul gets its own complete consciousness again and remembers everything. There's something mysterious beyond our imagination ... The universe is made in an organized way , so how could it be that organized and calculated and be randomly created ..

Wonder why people do not perform this very same exercise but for any other creature living? Bacteria, yeasts, trees, insects, birds... They're no different from us in the existence sense. Probably we all have consciences. Not sure about bacteria, but creatures with a brain, for sure. They simply cannot verbalize this to us. What makes us so special after all?

Because we are able to abstract think. And we can build skyscrapers.

I’m a licensed addictions counselor ( CACII) I have always told my clients that you have to believe in something. A higher power helps many people realize they are connected to something important. For many people, the journey toward finding a higher power is as beneficial as the addiction treatment process. As they detox from alcohol or other drugs, they become capable of thinking critically about the important things in life.

If they could think critically, they wouldn't believe in a higher power

How could anyone honestly think that the infinite number of variables that had to happen in an exact way, one after another, at all scales from atoms up to universe could possibly be an “accident”. The universe is unfolding exactly as it was always intended to and you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Buddhism and Taoism were some of the earliest schools of philosophy that highlighted this. It took such a long time for westerners to tune to the same direction. I am a big believer of destiny. Even the probability of us not yet destroyed is too infinitesimally impossible.

No, it really doesn't necessitate a supernatural origin myth. Coincidence is the concurrence of events that have no causal connection. The way our planet evolved is no more the workings of magic than running into a childhood friend at a local store by happenstance. But It does remind me not to take anything for granted and not to be foolish enough to waste the one, precious life I have waiting on something else.

But why am I here

Martin Rees wrote an excellent book: Just Six Numbers, the key numbers for why the universe had to exist the way it does for us to exist.

Small chance of existing? Maybe in regards to the particular creature that we currently identify as in this lifetime. Then again, maybe not. It's all just axioms - assumed truths to act as foundations for further knowledge. For all we know, reality could be just a virtual rendering. But existence simply exists. That chance of that is absolute. 1 in 1. Along the same line of logic as Descartes's "I think therefor I am". That's fundamental. You can't bamboozle me. I've already been through that gauntlet of philosophy and existential crisis
