Logic should never be the only yardstick used to measure reality....in fact, it CAN'T be....even if you want it to be.

Nice post on pantheism BTW. Personally I'm of the panentheistic persuasion.
You're talking rubbish. In a cosmic, universal sense there are no such things as mistakes.

And in terms of things being 'lucky', there never was any chance involved. The probability of the Universe coming into being was 100%. The probability of evolution occuring was 100%. We know this because we can observe that both actually happened. Probability cannot be applied to past events, because everything in the past has a one or a zero value and nothing in between.
