I think he's just pandering to the willfully ignorant. He knows that science has answered these questions.

When he asks "Can it just be luck?" I answer "Luck is more likely than magic."

2. What an ass
He makes a fool of himself with his ignorant argument, and his response is to insult those who point out the error.

Reminds me of this bit by The Onion:

8. Someone close to him should suggest he spend time watching
The Science Channel or Discovery Channel. They discuss planet formation in a way that even someone as ignorant as Billo can understand.
