For me it is the difference between possible & probable.
Keep in the mind the point of this article: ...if the ratio between the nuclear strong force and the electromagnetic force had been off by the tiniest fraction of the tiniest fraction—by even one part in 100,000,000,000,000,000—then no stars could have ever formed at all.
Now, stack the chances of the universe even existing, with the chances of life spontaneously generating (and the chances of the eye or even the brain forming), and you're forced to answer (or at least formulate) the question: was their a designer, or could everything truly come from nothing - by chance?
Sure, it's certainly possible, but definitely not probable.
Are you a gambler?
from OUR perspective, we may someday prove that ‘yes, there have been infinite Universes and infinite chances to create this Universe and life as we see it.’ *IF* that is proven, chance becomes valid but I doubt we ever will.
I dont believe there will be anything substantial to answer this question until we actually understand the deeper mechanisms behind consciousness, fate, chance, etc.
Until then it's all faith
dang!

well, you know...
He’s a gambler, and doesn’t realize it yet. Hope he hasn’t pushed ALL his chips into the table. His hand is empty.
