I guess I can see where the parent thinking you replied came from. If the life formed by randomness, according to this old Discovery video[1], it defies law of probability.

If each step from simple to complexity is using this randomness evolution, it will be more and more defies law of probability.

Wikipedia said earth had water 4.4B year ago. The first cell formed 3.8B years ago. This PBS video[2] said multicellular life emerged 1B years ago. Other source said 1.7B years ago. And then the first modern human appeared around 300 thousands years ago. So the question is: is 700M-1400M years enough time for the probability to create human?
