The problem with explaining highly unlikely events is that everything in the past is null. The chance of you winning $758.7 million in lotto is almost nil, yet there stood a winner. The chance of the universe popping into existence from absolute nothingness is beyond nil, yet here we are to talk about it.

I’m not discrediting a supreme being putting all in motion. Far from it; God plays with loaded dice.

Yes, but I think making the argument the way you are, actually makes the opposite point you intend. If the game is a lottery, it is a game of rules and order, presided over by someone with authority. Otherwise, there are no winners, no? Your analogy is flawed.

Gelernter: "No, there has not been enough time."

Meyer: "The odds are prohibitive."
