The chances of you existing.. - Magical Realist - Dec 27, 2025

Essentially, every birth is a "miracle birth".

FYI: "The chances of you being born are astronomically small, often cited as around 1 in 400 trillion (or even 1 in 400 quadrillion), a figure calculated by considering the unique combination of one sperm and one egg, plus the survival of countless ancestors through history, world wars, and pandemics, all in a universe with the right conditions for life. This calculation emphasizes the rarity and preciousness of individual existence, highlighting how specific historical, biological, and cosmic events had to align perfectly for you to exist."---Google A.I.
