I looked at what is published online.  Best I can determine, the probability of two identical outcomes of the experiment I described previously is on the order of 10^-33, if we look at only the base pairs measured by the 50 dollar DNA kits.  If we could combine a particular sperm and a particular ovum repeatedly, the chances they would combine identically are about 10^-33.  Each of us are this unlikely.  Not impossible, only absurd.
