Statistics can be deceiving when they are manipulated.  It comes as no wonder that if we butter one side, statistics favor that. The butter adds weight, and there is greater likelihood for the bread to land with the buttered side down (flat on its face). The more resources you employ, or people you curry favor with, the more successful the outcome.  Still it is this probability theory that evolutionists base their claims on - "even with a .00001 probability, give it zillions of years, and it is sure to happen" they say. 

Statistics can be hilarious.  Consider the statistics professor demonstrating the probability of future cash flows based on an excel spreadsheet. Every time he would input a variable into a cell, and the model would recalculate all the figures and show him the bottom line. He would then click the undo button, type in another value and recalculate the bottom line. He did this several times until the right number came up and he gave a big smile.

Obviously if you are going to undo the buttons on a model you will end up with a figure that you find quite pleasing.
