“You know, the most amazing thing happened to me tonight. I was coming here, on the way to the lecture, and I came in through the parking lot. And you won’t believe what happened. I saw a car with the license plate ARW 357. Can you imagine? Of all the millions of license plates in the state, what was the chance that I would see that particular one tonight? Amazing!”

The quote is great, but I wish you had linked to some other article. That sums up as:

  You cannot predict the results of a shuffled deck of cards.
  Similarly, our current universe is impossibly improbable.
  Therefore, God did it.

It's a massive lack of understanding, whether it's right in the end or not.
