Now you're just blatantly attacking a strawman. Just because you don't see things rearrange themselves at random doesn't mean they can't. It just means they are incredibly unlikely to happen, whether that mean one over ten, one over a googolpex, or one over (insert one of Jonathan Bowers' creations here). Those would still be chances, which means they can and probably will occur. You are stating the event has a probability of zero, which it does not.

Yes, it's counterintuitive in the extreme. So is all of quantum physics.
