Another way to look at this fallacy is to look at each person's life. What are the odds that each of us will have the exact jobs we have, sit in the exact office or cubicle we do, have the exact friends we do, have our homes decorated exactly as we do, drive the exact car we have now, etc?

I'm engaged to a girl that was born in Vietnam and I was born in Tennessee. What are the odds that we would even meet? For that to happen, countless unrelated events had to occur on opposite ends of the world. Each event built on the other and we did in fact cross paths.
