Just because you're the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent creator of everything doesn't mean you can just pop out of nowhere. '''He didn't pop out of nowhere.

Chance doesn't prove/disprove God's existence. God coulda nudged the odds, but there's evidence that Mars had life before we did, and affter a while the odds are in life's favour.

I'd suggest reading Lucifer, a comic book from DC written by Mike Carey. It has a touch of blasphemey, but God is omnipotent so... have that. It's a really good discussion on theology and free will.
