Popular atheist argument no 1. "If it's not impossible then it's just a matter of probability and given enough time and numbers it becomes inevitable".
This is actually a false argument because something is not a matter of probability if it is not physically impossible which is a non-sequitur. (doesn't follow)
For example, it is NOT physically impossible to get sand-castles, but that would not mean that if enough wind and waves exist on enough planets that eventually you will get a perfectly replicated sand castle such as a replica of Buckingham palace or whatever.
It is not impossible, but it is also not a matter of probability because nobody on earth would believe that if they found a sophisticated sand-castle that therefore it was not designed.
So if something is not physically impossible (there is nothing preventing sand from being put into the shape of a castle) then it doesn't follow that it is a matter of probability because it may still be something that only happens if you have a designer.
Sand castles come from designers, and are created.
Conclusion; Atheists use this argument to try and make out abiogenesis becomes probable, but if we know a sand castle which is a relatively simple design, could not come about naturally then why would a lifeform containing DNA information code and protein-motors, come about naturally, "given enough time".
