About 1 billion to 1. Which is why our planet is probably rare in the universe. Why is this not "the plan"? If I'm god, and I create a universe that follows physics, then start a big bang to get it moving, why does the fact that it took billions of years to create a world for people to exist disprove god? God lives infinitely long. Compared to infinity a billion years is actually a small amount of time. The mere fact that the laws of the universe (physics, chemistry, etc) so amazingly create complex interactions between objects in the universe from simple rules should be proof enough that a creator had a hand in developing them.

I think your ability to imagine these things is simply being dwarfed by the vastness of the universe. There was an equation that computes these probabilities called "Drake's equation" you can look it up on Wikipedia or just google for it... even if you accept a worst case scenario the probability that the same thing has happened elsewhere in our universe within the small window of time that we currently exist is so high that it is reasonable to assume at least 2.8 other star-systems, planets, and civilizations exist right now which have reached our identical current situation somewhere in this same galaxy. If you consider the number of galaxies other than our own the number is upwards of 80000... There is nothing terribly special about this little world or this star or this galaxy - we are just very primitive when it comes to understanding or imagining the "big picture" given the size of the universe. Chance is a game that says no matter how many times I flip a coin it will never be more than 50% likely to produce heads or 50% likely to come up tails. If the chance had been zero for any of these things to occur - you mght be justified - but the chance is always 50% that it happened as it did and 50% that it did not. You are correct that we have experienced a streak of good luck not to have been destroyed by a wandering asteroid for the last 10 to 12000 years - but that is not long if you compare it to the half-life of a radioactive isotope. I think atheists are telling you that evolution is mot about the origin of life. Evolution is about the process of gradual change that life makes to fit it's enviroment. Its about how one species gradually changes until its so different it can no longer interbreed with the original form. Thats a totally different theory than the idea of life arising from an inorganic chemical process. Poorly educated Christians almost seem to intentionally confuse these two processes in order to make their arguments, however it makes them look foolish. It would make as much sense to say that it's impossible to have a home run in baseball beat a full house in poker. It's true... in a sense, but it's also wrong because they are totally different things. "Everywhere else" is so huge that we cannot say there is zero life everywhere else - because we haven't looked anywhere yet. It would be the same as saying "there is no money left in the world" just because I spent my last dime. We have to look farther than our own change pockets. We can't even see 90% of the universe yet as far as we can tell, because it's not possible to 'see' in that direction. So let's not make any hasty conclusions ok?

You're kind of all over the place on this one.
Evolution doesn't have anything to say about the formation of the planets, and their satellites, or stars...that's cosmology and astronomy. Given that it happened, the chance is 100%.
Rainbows are the effect of white light seperating in moisture droplets (solved that mystery for ya).
Fruits and vegetables, as well as our ability to eat them, are the product of evolution. Generally speaking, the part of the fruit and vegetable that we eat is the seed, or seed pod, of the plant...the reproductive portion, so to speak. Humans, being omniverous, evolved the ability to eat and digest these things. It's a symbiotic relationship. Remember that not all plants are edible (or beneficial). Some have evolved defense mechanisms (such as poison ivy and oak). For every one that can be of use to the human body, there's another that can kill it.
"an awareness of our own existance, our mind, babies made in their mothers womb every minute...emotions, legs, eyes,..."
All evolutionary traits.
"How much time would it take for a dinosaur (fixed that for ya) to evolve with all of these things in place..." Archeology and natural history shows us that it took millions of years.
"what are the chances that everything formed with out a plan and no one to constuct this reality of everything." Again, given that it happened, the chances are 100%
"Life is many on earth yet zero everywhere else." Fossilized bacteria has been found on Mars...that indicates life elsewhere.

Humans represent less than .05% of the earth's history and - since the inception of the Bible - are on a collision course with the inevitable destruction of the planet.
If we can conclude any purpose a Creator might have had from this, it is that humans are part of a reboot process, and - when it completes - another species will have a chance to evolve and steward the earth before the sun burns out.
Like cockroaches.

You cannot calculate the "chance" (or probability) of something happening, that only happened once. There is only one history of the universe, thus we cannot calculate its probability. Another way to think about it is that, given the laws of physics, chemistry, mathematics, et cetera, that the probability of the universe being as it is now, is 100%... because the laws of the Universe made it impossible to happen any other way. By the way, anyone who tries to tell you what is and isn't probable over the billions of years the Universe has been around, is not worth listening to. Those are questions that humans are not capable of answering.

It is interesting how we find intelligent networks within all seemingly chaotic activities. There are consistencies withing inconsistencies and finite things existing right along with infinite things. Perhaps our viewpoint is still immature and unable to perceive beyond what the scientifically defined representations are. We cant let our imaginations go to far for fear of going off into the dark and ending up going up dead ends and dark trails that lead to nowhere. Once again I can see you are trying to understand the artistic side of your brain with the logical side and you only succeed in frustrating yourself.

In claiming that a dinosaur grew wings while trying to catch flies, Darwinists never realize that the fly already had a perfect wing and flight system with the ability to flap its wings 1,000 times per second.
Can a single protein molecule emerge by chance?
The probability of an average protein molecule made up of 500 amino acids being arranged in the correct quantity and sequence in addition to the probability of all of the amino acids it contains being only left-handed and being combined with only peptide bonds is "1" over 10to the power950.

Well, they happened, didn't they? So the question is, do you want to believe a supergod planned and manufactured all this in seven days, or do you want to believe it came to be from natural causes?
Evolutionary theory does NOT claim that all the beautiful and wonderful things you mentioned were created in one week either, but rather millions of years--so which is more logical?

Obviously, 100%. If you open your eyes, you will see that it happened, making the probability 100%.
