Given Enough Time 'The Improbable Becomes Probable' Addressed

 Not only do some things not become probable, they're reasonably always going to remain unreal even if not technically impossible

The atheist evolutionist uses this reasoning, with an implicit argument so that people are forced to think the following; "if it's not impossible then it's only a matter of probability, and therefore no matter how improbable given enough time or numbers it becomes probable."

However, I question the premise that, "if it's not impossible it's therefore a matter of probability."

That reasoning is wrong if we can show there is an example of something that is not impossible, but that is still not a matter of probability. Something that can physically happen but WON'T ever happeb.

I have an example. 

You will never get the most famous woman on earth to knock on your door and ask to marry you. It is not physically impossible but that doesn't mean it's a matter of probability because given enough time and numbers it will not change the fact that it won't happen.

Some things can be shown to be physically possible and can happen but they just won't because they simply go against the nature of reality. It's also not a probability-issue therefore this classic atheist argument is a limited choice fallacy because of the third option.

There just needs to be a reason for some things to occur and with some things they can only occur with teleology as the cause. (done on purpose). 

This is why abiogenesis would not happen. Yes it's also improbable but that is not that relevant, because more importantly it just wouldn't happen. You would need ordinary chemistry to create code and polymers with specified complexity. That no more would happen than wind and wave would create a sand castle.
