Your point - that what is infinitesimally possible is impossible - is valid. There is no good argument for evolution other than doctrinaire belief in evolution. People simply have to be open to miracles.
The Bible amazingly tells us there was not one miracle, but a series of them. Thus, the origin of the universe cannot be explained, nor is there a good explanation of life, nor of the Cambrian explosion of life, nor of the emergence specifically of photosynthesis, the higher forms of animals, nor the emergence of humans. None of these things is even remotely explained by science.
BUT having said this, the flimsiness of evolution doesn’t prove young earth creationism. Both of those viewpoints are overwhelmed by the scientific evidence. Old earth creationism is arguably consistent with the best evidence available, but, seems to conveniently interpret the Bible in order to reconcile science and revelation. This is only possible for the Bible. All other faith traditions are totally whack when it comes to science.
But, really, I don’t care about any of that. The sheer majesty of the creation speaks to the power, imagination and infinite care of the Creator. So, if the Biblical account is merely poetic, it’s o.k. by me.

Flimsiness? No- impossibility- It’s even Chemically impossible- in order for life to even have a chance of arising from chemicals, those chemicals need to be pure- there are no naturally occurring pure chemicals in regards to life ingredients- the only way life could have arisen was through, once again, a violation of natural law- in this case a supernatural purification of chemicals
[[doesn’t prove young earth creationism.]]
No, intelligent design and irreducible complexity do that
[[Old earth creationism is arguably consistent with the best evidence available,]]
Not so much- RadioHalos speak to a young earth- as do many other geological evidences- RadioHalos have stood up to peer review scrutiny for decades now- and show a rapid young earth creation- As well, every measure used to ‘date’ ages used by old earth proponents has serious flaws in them- and are unreliable- I can list them and their problems if you like- There is far more solid scientific evidence for young earth than for old earth- all the methods used for old age testing require a great deal of faith and belief- not hard scientific fact
