You're getting close here.

Now when you try to explain to me the mechanism behind that magical "combination" that caused life to start and realize you can't explain it, you will have bumped up against the conundrum which requires you to reconsider a deity.

It doesn't matter how many big numbers you dazzle your brain with, you can't explain how it happened. To use the "infinite monkeys" argument is just sloppy. (Sorry, I don't mean to get personal here but I just can't think of another word for it.)
