Precisely. This is a classic case of the scientist pretending to be a philosopher.

Anyone who says science can settle the question of God is fatally deluded. End of story.

The concepts of “chance” and “randomness” are part of a metaphysical point of view. There is no empirical data that could rule out divine intervention in specific instances or in general. In human beings, the sequence of events, experiences, and decisions which lead to choosing a spouse and having children involve factors that could not possibly be evaluated completely to reach a certain conclusion ruling out providence or divine purpose.
