JoyIt is a gross distortion of statistical mathematics to use it as an argument against biological evolution. The functions of the human body did not "just come together". That is classic strawman, since it is not actually refuting any rational notion of evolution at all. No biologist believes things just happened. There is always cause and effect.
Anyhow, middle school mathematics teaches that if the probability of one thing occuring is slim, then the probability of it *not* happening is high. And the chance that the functions of the human body just came together and *happened* is, as George Gallup so nicely said, a statistical monstrosity. So probability-wise, a Creator has a fairly good chance of existing.
