this is such a commonly-repeated fallacy. just because something is infinite, doesn't mean everything is possible. the sequence 1,3,5,7,9,... is infinite, and yet it contains no even numbers. there are many such cases.

In this case, the existence of earth is an even number, so I don't see how this is a fallacy.
