Some evolutionists use the argument that you cannot gather from the probabilities of life developing through evolution that evolution is impossible because this would imply that evolution is aimed at a certain goal. Instead evolution is supposed to be unspecific and not aimed at a certain goal and this means that using probabilities is senseless. For example winning in the lottery is highly unlikely but somebody always wins or at least very often somebody wins. The person which has won can't say that winning in the lottery is impossible because she has won. I guess what they are trying to "prove" is that basically probabilities don't matter at all once you have achieved the goal and they simply say that since we're here and since he exist probabilities don't play any role because we're here and this means that it obviously worked. But with this kind of logic you can justify every kind of theory. I think it's similar to the example with the cards where you draw a few cards and then say that the chance of drawing exactly these cards is 1:whatever but since you drew them it proves that everything is possible. But since you didn't determine which cards you want to pull the chance of simply pulling a few cards is 1. But this doesn't prove anything. I could as well drive in my car on the highway and at one point I throw something out of the window and then I could say that the chance of throwing it out exactly at this point is 1:whatever and this proves that even the most unlikely things are possible but what does this prove? 
For example what would happen if something happens which is mathematically impossible? Would this prove that basically everything is possible and that probabilities have lost their right to exist?
For example if somebody had said that Steve Irwin would have predicted the exact date of Steve Irwin's death and also the exact time and the cause of death then this would most likely have been mathematically impossible to predict. But what if something like this happened? What consequences would this have?
