No process is ever this random. Its not like the infinite money theorem.

    Infinite monkey take 1, Atlas Srugged written? yes : no
    Infinite monkey take 2, Atlas Srugged written? yes : no
    ...
    Infinite monkey take n, Atlas Srugged written? yes : no
In reality its more like what happens before effects what comes later. This is different in the case of Boeing because there is a degree of non-reactive stuff coming together there. In case of Amino acids and subsequent formation of life its just chemistry, and that gets progressively complicated.

And this process is happening between the most commonly naturally occurring elements. So these triggers and process would have happened in almost every star system.
