Oh? Exactly what ARE those odds? A million to one, a billion to one? Infinite? You are a man who understands science -- a college graduate and all that -- so you know you must quantify that or risk being called an idiot.
So, what are the odds?

A process such as, ohh, I dunno, EVOLUTION?

I 100% agree with you there. No one knows. Theories abound but the evidence, SO FAR, suggest that it happened purely by accident. If you ahve another theory SUPPORTED BY EVIDENCE then I really want to hear it!
But you say "No one knows . . ." then, in the EXACT SAME SENTENCE say (paraphrased) "But I KNOW it didn't happen by chance."
Does your faith blind you so effectively that you can't even see that humongous hypocritical blunder?
