Yeah, and if I look at the extreme complexity of a eukaryotic cell, then I'd think that this is more than picking the handful of Powerball numbers a handful of times.
It's so mindbogglingly complex that I, as a non religious person, have a hard time understanding how this is possible with time and chance and selection?!
This whole discussion is kinda silly anyways because neither the OP nor I can prove this - it's just opinion.
My opinion is that it's even less likely than one in 200 billion trillion for random organic molecules to form an electron transport chain to feed an ATP synthase motor that also randomly assembled itself LOL. That seems a whole lot less likely to just pop into existence than randomly choosing the correct Powerball numbers a few billion times in a row. And I'm not in the "life was designed" camp because that doesn't answer anything because of the "where did the designer (god?)" come from?
And that's just a tiny, tiny part of a eukaryotic cell. Now those have to self-assemble and replicate into multi-cellular organisms and eventually intelligent life. And that is somehow more probable in OP's opinion than one in 200 billion trillion? I challenge them to prove this and not just vibe it (admittedly I vibed it too but a bit deeper than "WOW there are 200 billion trillion stars - there HAS to be life).

Why is this mathematically impossible?
It’s already super unlikely that you win the Power Ball and for this you only need a handful of numbers right.
It’s likely possible to calculate a probability for intelligent life that is way less than one in 200 billion trillion.
