The odds against anyone's particular combination of genes, not to mention the specific sperm (among millions) that carried half of them, must be enormous. Does that make everyone a miracle?

Depends how you define miracle. Personally, I think most women are. As far as a particular assortment of genes goes, that's not a miracle; that's just an expression of probability.

Yes...planned by God...each birth is a true miracle. If you study what God has to say about it, it is even more interesting.
He says that He knows the count of every hair on your head....that He planned you before you were ever in you mother's womb...that He "knew" you before you were born.
If you wanted to believe that the universe, and the world, and creation just "occurred"....it would be like taking the whole entire letters in the Dictionary...throwing them all up into the air and having them all land into the total words and order of the Dictionary. That's how much you have to believe in the "accidental" evolution, or big bang, or whatever you want to call it...of all creation. That takes more faith than I have.
I know instead, that what God says is true. And He says, "the fool says in his heart, there is no God!" That's good enough for me! He also says that each person has a knowledge that He exists, already in them....but many want to go their own way instead.

A miracle? Nope. Of the millions of conceptions that took place the week I was conceived, only a few thousand experienced a first year birthday party. The remainder did did survive ...However, the odds of me finding someone who
matches my DNA precisely AND is not a close cousin, is astronomical.

I think the main miracle is that life was able to come about in the first place.
Every person after that is a manifestation of that miracle. Our differences are evolution's way of saying, "Look what I can do!"

Yeah of course! Just think of one egg cell and one sperm cell join together out of millions. That is you! Well, its a quiet of a miracle.

It's more like winning the lottery. Lots of chances and almost all come to nothing.
But, that one person eventually wins is chance, not miracle.
