We have found that there are 999,999,999 chances to one against a belief that all things happen by chance.

Who's we? How did he arrive at that figure? Was he aware that as long as the possibility is > 0 then whatever it is WILL necessarily happen given large enough numbers of chances (and the Universe offers many, many, many billions of "chances")

Well, do you still believe there is no Supreme Intelligence guiding this universe through mathematical laws

Yes, I still believe that. Now what? |
It doesn't matter. Let's move on. |
Lessans wrote a whole lot of stuff about it, what do you mean it doesn't matter? And if they were someone else's words why the hell wasn't it cited, either in a footnote or bibliography? Never have I read a non-fiction book that had no list of citations or references like this.
Are these also Morrisons words not Lessans?

This discussion on chance brings forcibly to the attention of the
reader the fact that this world did not come about by chance. The
purpose of this book is to prove undeniably that there is design to the
universe.
