So far, astronomers have discovered 1800 exoplanets.
Quite a few if them are in the habitable zone. Quite a few of them are Earth like.
Next poor argument....
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Then how come there's nothing living there? Seriously, how is it even possible that we are the only life in this unspeakable huge universe? There must be a designer.

There's your answer to your question.
But we need to compound it with our knowledge that life exists on this planet, in this universe... if you run the math, you get 100%.

Stuff like that is just because man sinned. The Garden of Eden was perfect.

How do you know there's no life there? We've identified the planets. We haven't been there yet.
Don't make claims from ignorance.

We don't know there's nothing living there. And if you want to get your ass handed to you by several people, just try to make a case for a necessary designer. You're not the first moron to stumble down that path.

How do you know that earth is the only planet with life on it? Fact is, that is extremely unlikely.
There are 200 billion galaxies, each with 100-200 billion stars. So far, astronomers have found planets everywhere they look. So, planets are ubiquitous in the universe.
Astronomers have also found amino acids in space, and water is plentiful in space.
What makes you believe that earth is the only planet with life? We haven't even explored the entire solar system yet, let alone other stars.

God sucks.

So before man sinned (according to your just-so story), there was no volcanic activity?
Who were you and what were you doing before the lobotomy?
