That number you've quoted is absolutely meaningless because it entirely ignores the premise of Creationism: design.
If a supreme being had the means, motivation, and intent to create something, then the probability of it being created is actually 1.
All that number represents is the probability of humanity evolving on its own without any ancestors.
A lot of really improbable things happen all the time, just consider all the possibilities for what every single person in the world could be doing right now, yet they are doing exactly one specific thing.
