It isn't, though. It's like near-infinite tornadoes going through near-infinite scrapyards, slowly, over billions of years, and leaving behind a Boeing 737 in, comparatively, an absolutely miniscule number of those scrapyards.

I find that this is what most people who believe in creationism because they feel like the "odds" of the alternative are impossible fail to understand. The sheer unimaginable scale of space and time involved.

Although, this isn't exactly darwinism anyway, Darwin only described the theory of evolution, he didn't go so far as theorising how "dead" atomic matter became single-celled organisms... only how the basic organisms developed into complex life. You can technically be a creationist and still believe in Darwin's evolution... you can believe that intelligent design put the "building blocks" in place and evolution was allowed to take place from there.
