Re: Anywhere from 0 to 1
Robert Naeye, a writer for Astronomy magazine and an evolutionist, wrote that life on earth is the result of "a long sequence of improbable events [that] transpired in just the right way to bring forth our existence, as if we had won a million-dollar lottery a million times in a row."
The statement is completely taken out of context. He was speaking about the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence; not evolution.
Also, why do you believe this one statement by an Astronomer has any bearing on the validity of the TOE?
If that is how things work, can I take random quotes from creationists and use them as a gold standard?

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
