So let me get this straight - atheists believe that it's just a cosmic coincidence that the laws of the universe simultaneously begot the creation of sub-atomic particles which created atoms and basic elements which emerge from star factories, which just happened to form the substrate for biological life while simultaneously organizing themselves into structures such as solar systems and planets which provide the ideal structure for fostering said life, and the fact that life was the logical consequence of this entire process - from the big bang to the formation of solar systems to the self-organizing RNA and DNA particles of abiogenesis which created cells which created consciousness - is just a never-end set coincidences and freak accidents? Do they even understand how incredibly improbable that scenario is? The laws of the universe could have been set to any of an infinite set during its instantiation and it just so happens to have randomly chosen the set which has led to our existence? The odds of that are literally one in infinity. Fucking retarded.

the fact that you are produced at all is nothing short of a miracle, not some inevitable outcome. The point of infinity is that there's zero probability you should have been produced at all, that eternity could go on forever producing universes without ever producing life and consciousness and you. So your reply is the dice of the universe landed on life this time and here you are just out of sheer dumb luck. Hilarious atheists accuse of others believing in impossibility when they believe their own existence is the result of a infinitely sided die landing on their point.

And? This doesn't respond to the point. Improbability does not mean we should reject random action as an explanation. Random actions often must create improbable outcomes. Do you conclude that every lottery winner is the result of a conspiracy?

Doesn't follow. You didn't show only one set of laws leads to this outcome.

You also failed to take into account the anthropic effect. The only reason this universe is special to you is because you live in it. It's like the puddle thinking the hole it's in was specially made for it.

1. Any other assumption of the distribution from universal laws are drawn only makes the case for universes created with a bias towards life creation stronger or the case this particular universe was random weaker.

2. Does not matter how many configurations lead to life, the probability any are realized randomly is zero, since any constant/infinity = 0.

3. Suppose there are infinitely many configurations that lead to life - that still only makes the case for life creation being an intrinsic property of universe creation itself.

Why any other assumption? We don't know what determines how the universe works so making assumptions as if there is some lottery of laws is incorrect. Also, you didn't show such a distribution can be constructed, you just handwaved. Also, you haven't shown this universe is predisposed to the creation of life.

There is nothing ideal about solar systems and planets for life, they are pretty much the antithesis to life. Sun makes up 99.85% of the system mass, 99% of the remaining mass is in the gas giants, life is limited to about half of a 0.5% of the remaining mass of the solar system and that's being extremely generous. Let's not even talk about volume or other empty solar systems.

An optimal system would be a shell of thin matter surrounding a tiny central star, that would be an ideal layout for life.

The anthropic principle explains most of this nonsense. It doesn’t matter how insanely improbable intelligent life is. If it isn’t anywhere in our possibly infinite universe, there will be some idiot claiming the coincidence of it proves we were deliberately created. There’s also a tendency among humans to believe life is special and while it does represent a highly complex arrangement of matter, it is still nothing more than an arrangement of matter. Attributing special meaning to it is unwarranted, objectively.

For atheism to be the correct position it doesn’t need to have zero assumptions, but just fewer assumptions than any alternative - which it does. You can say atheism is stupid and maybe that’s true, but it is definitely less stupid than every other possible belief.

The problem with your logic OP is that you seem to think that 1/infinity is zero when it's not, it's undefined. You're taking the limit and using that as the value proper, which only proves that you don't understand fundamental calculus.
The only way to state that an event has zero probability is to prove that it can not occur. Saying that there are infinite possibilities just means that the possibility is infinitesimally small, but no matter how close to zero, it is still not zero. If you don't understand this, then read up on continuous probability distributions. You also can't say that the probability is zero because the event is impossible, as that makes the assumption that probability is zero, which is cyclic logic, and thus invalid.
If you can not definitively prove that life can not occur randomly under any circumstance, then the probability can not be zero.
