1 in 16 billion, in that much space? A trifle. That completely discounts the possibility of multiple universes, or multiple iterations in the case of a steady-state expansion/collapsing universe. Given the paeninfinite nature of our universe (as we understand it), all things may well be possible.
1:16 billion (which was the low end ) was for all space. Remember that all the elements in the periodic table were produced from a single proto mass(big bang theory).
