Not only must they happen, they must happen in a specific order while at the same time during that time frame, a random event not happen that destroys the required substances made.

    If you seriously think about it. It's not simply winning the lottery, which with enough time, in theory, everyone will win. It is winning a bunch of lotteries. Each required temperature change , molecule combining, etc is a lottery. Add to this, that it isn't just a bunch of lotteries that is required to be won, it is winning those bunch of lotteries in an exact and specific order. All the while having to win the lottery at every "step" that the environment doesn't destroy what was just made before moving on to the next step. Losing any of of those lotteries out of order, starts you all over again. Once you can come to terms that time is not really an asset, but a hindrance, you realize that this is statistically impossible .
    That is true, until you account for infinity. If the universe (multiverse?) is infinite (and many very smart people believe this to be true), everything that is possible will happen....maybe an infinite amount of times. Its also true, that if the universe is infinite, we will always know nothing since (our knowledge/infinity=0) .

    That is the key statement though "everything that is possible". I am saying statistically, it isn't. The other key statement that I make that you are missing or ignoring is that time as infinite as you want to make it, is a detriment, not an advantage. So infinite doesn't matter. In simple terms, the longer you play in Vegas, the more you are likely to lose.
