You may not think it that way, and may choose to believe in imaginary kingdoms, heavens full of materialistic pleasures for a soul bereft of physical form, talking snakes and an entire population arisen out of incest, but I would say that we should feel even more special, because of that lottery life has won. It makes it even more precious than some imaginary ego-maniac building it all up and then “testing” it, inspite of him, her, it or them, being “infallible”.

I didn't say anything about any of that and don't believe it. But it's far more plausible explanation than your lottery theory. As is the theory that Santa Clause created us all just so he would have a billion or so chimneys to climb down one night per year. Of all the ridiculous explanations of human existence, from Zeus to Heaven's Gate, random occurrences resulting from the explosion of something that didn't exist is the most absurd. Especially when it's expressed with arrogant certitude from human minds that obviously can't come close to knowing even a tiny portion of the facts; minds have to struggle mightily to ignore the statistical absurdity of their conclusion; minds that have to ignore simple questions like "So time did the math, how's that work?".
