Yeh, but you do realize that 15 billion years equals 15 x 10^9, right? That’s not even remotely on the same magnitude as 1 x 10^166,000.

To give you an idea of how enormous that number is, if you took a cross-section of the universe (i.e. a flat plane with it’s width/length) the number of square inches inside it are roughly 1 x 10^34.

So the universe is a fertile field with many possible random collisions that result in life. Great.
