Indeed, any random event, no matter how unlikely, could happen, given enough time.

This is what atheists rely on and it is a fallacy as far as time as we know it exists. There are many scenarios which are required for our current universe which have smaller odds than being able to pick out a particular atom from the universe.

Exactly — which strongly indicates that there was some sort of “driver” — some force that caused those things to fall into those narrow windows. Planck’s Constant is one such thing. The slightest deviation and life as we know it could not exist.

“One might even propose all intelligent minds in the universe are disembodied brains with complete sets of memories that randomly fluctuated out of chaos rather than evolving conventionally from a relatively orderly past. If everyone’s minds are suspect, one might never be able to tell whether one’s model of the universe is viable or not.”

This is where you end up when you have to rely on your own wisdom.
Lord, I think I have seen enough.

“...it is a fallacy...”

Sorry Luke, but it is the truth. It is one of the principles of probability; in fact, mathematically it is even more strongly stated. Any random event, no matter how unlikely, if has a probability of happening, WILL happen given enough time.
