like if my dad would’ve flushed me, and any other sperm had fertilized then the other sperm which was born would think like i do or it would think differently?

The term miracle is overused, often to mean a significantly unlikely event.
In the case of your birth, there is the likelihood that your mother survives to term (good chances in the Western World), the chances that you survive to term (about 88%), the chances that your father even put spunk into your mother (variable based on contraceptive method), and most importantly, the odds that the one sperm that creates you reaches the egg first, which are technically astronomical.
But what people forget to calculate is that for you to be here to ponder the question, the events could not have happened any differently.
If you miscarried, you would be dead. If a different sperm reached the egg, you would be a different person. It doesn’t matter how random or unlikely an event is, the fact is that it happened.
