I got lost about 6 or 7 words into the quote.
Reading Stephen C. Meyer's Return of the God Hypothesis. It's a difficult book, well-written, densely informative. He claims (p. 211) "without functional criteria to guide a search through the vast space of possible sequences, random variation is probabilistically doomed."

Case for existence of god because the probability of anything other than chaos is zero. That's my interpretation, anyway. But I'm not a smart man.

Not sure what is meant by "functional criteria." Even rare events can happen. You just have to play for long enough or simultaneously.
-
The rare and improbable are happening all the time in a universe where billions & trillions of events happen every “day”!

But also, and to paraphrase, "without functional criteria to guide a search through the vast space of possible sequences, random variation is probabilistically the best option for success." It's a double edged statement really.
-
And if you assume things like the many universes theory, or cyclic time, then random variation becomes probabilistically sound.
