Isn't Creationism mathematically impossible?

Of course, the probability of God having created it all are inconceivably lower than the so-called mathematical impossibility of evolution. SOOO...In order for this miracle to occur, probability and the laws of physics have to have some meaning. If they can be waived for the much more mathematically impossible event of divine creation, then it is much more likely that they would have been put on hold for evolution without divine intervention. Of course, it's easy to talk about the mathematical impossibility of evolution when one doesn't have to refer to the specific odds against special creation. How's that for convenient? So...no one can show you the probability of intelligent design because there is no way to measure it or evaluate it. I can just as correctly claim that it is mathematically less probable than the probability of amino acids coming together by chance as one can claim that special creation had to have occurred, and be just as correct in saying, "therefore, evolution had to have occurred."Improbability is not evidence against something. It is simply improbability. It is certainly NOT evidence for the alternative hypothesis of creation (if I can bring myself to give it that much credibility). It is an argument from incredulity to call it that. "It is difficult to conceive of..." with a veneer of technical jargon.
