Of course, the odds are the same for ANY particular order of 52 cards. So unless one sees that ONE particular configuration as special, there’s no reason to view getting that particular order after a shuffle as “lucky”.

Using that argument implies that there is nothing special about DNA sequences that produce life versus those that don't. Ridiculous argument.

—No, it implies no such thing. Obviously the configurations that work for life ARE special - but how many special? What percentage? I have no idea, and neither does anyone else - which is why the deck of cards analogy fails.
