If my parents had never met, I would not have been born, right?

Also the same for my grandparents on both sides; great grandparents and so on. So it seems that I was extremely "lucky" probability wise to ever have been born, since if any one of my ancestors never met their future "spouse" I (as I am now) wouldn't exist

..so the odds seem one in, I don't know, billions that I (defining "I" as the result of all those specific pairings) being born, and so I beat the odds...

BUT--this is true of course for everyone--and not just everyone who lives now, but who EVER lived, so the odds that each of us to have ever been born, multipled all together seem so incredibly vanishingly small, that it seems that some other explanation is necessary--?

Maybe even the opposite--in that if it is too unlikely to believe that something one out of a trillion to the trillionth power occurred, maybe instead it was 100%, or "had to be" the case...

Thoughts?
