72. Honestly. Your point is both unprovable and irrefutable: too many variables
If effect, it is an attempt to prove "the existence of GOD" for the purpose discussing complex human endeavors.

Everybody doubted JFK's proclamation that we will land a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade. Well, we did it, but not without some losses of equipment and an entire crew of Astronauts who burned to death sitting on the launch pad.

Should we never have tried to go to the moon? We wouldn't have our computer chip, cellphone, computer, etc., industries if we hadn't. But those 3 astronauts may have lived to a ripe old age.

2) Everything we do carries a degree of risk. You are far more likely to die of a bee sting than a nuclear disaster. But I've never noticed you posting hundreds of anti-bee claptrap.
