Welcome. A couple of points if I may. First off, we can safely say that time began when the Universe did, which would be around 13,000,000,000 years ago; a long time, certainly, but not the same as infinite. However, the most glaring thing I want to address is this:
We certainly are lucky in the sense that our planet orbits in what's known as the Inhabitable Zone, or more prosaically the Goldilocks Zone. However it's nowhere near as critical as you make out - the Earth's orbit varies by as much as five million kilometres, about 780 Earth-radii, over the course of a year, with no danger to us at all.
I'm interested to see how you develop these points though.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
