And which fortuitous events would those be? If you think that humans were somehow destined, then you could perhaps say that everything that happened had to happen just as it did, else humans would probably not be here, so it must have been fortuitous, and the sheer probably of that is so astronomical that one would doubt how it could have happened.
Too bad that's not a good argument. Scientifically, there's no reason to assume that humans were destined. If one wants to take that philosophical leap, then one may invoke their god to explain how it happened. Either way, it's not a good argument against evolution.
