Quentin, you are perhaps too generous to believe in discussion here.
Consider halting the defense of many histories and go on offense: What
principle selects that singular outcome? What privileges it above all
others and by what means/mechanism? There is no coherent answer
without invoking a god, a Brent, an Alan, Cosmin, Trump, Spud, Giulio,
it just happens etc. who just proclaim it on some creation day - and
it was good. Closet bible worshippers. Apologies, but the types of
fallacious argument (ad verecundiam) they rely on, are the same, even
if not regarding this exact proposition.
If you want to make argument, have the guts to make it yourself. You
like Quentin apparently have never heard of probabilities and assume
every event must have cause. What principle mandates that. What
privileges every event to have a cause, and not only one cause but a
chain of causes going back to the origin of the universe...at which
point you must invoke a god. You apparently fail even to understand you
own argument.
