Hmmm. That probability is the same as the probablility for any other.

True enough. But only that order of cards results in life(in this analogy), and all other possible orderings result in nothing useful at all.

Therefore, chance of life = extreeeeeemly small.

Chance of something else = virtually 100%

False. Unless you consider that trees and humans have the same genes ...

This only works if you assume a single specific possible result to allow for life.
