If you think about it, probability is a two edged sword. We already see this in our own existence, which is too highly unlikely to measure given our present lack of knowledge.
In simple limited coin flipping terms, there is always the chance that the coin will fall on its edge. (This actually happened to me once.)
Or that we will get 20 heads in a row.
What do we do in this case, when our Gaussian distribution is violated? We seek a way to get things back within our human sense of order.
And yet, the coin did land on its edge. Twenty heads in a row does come up. Books have been written on this, but right here I want to suggest that our concept of probability is such that the existence of God has plenty of room in between the numbers on the Gaussian curve.
In other words, God can easily slip us 20 heads whenever He wants, and we are free to ignore them as outliers, or to take them to the bank.

You sure have a pretty bad understanding of probability and causality. Instead of engaging in your pseudointellectual and metaphysical speculation, perhaps you might want to correct your incorrect ideas and stray into the path of rationality.
Keep up the good work.
