Firstly if the universe was unable to support life you would not be able to comment on it. So theres that. But also your argument depends on all forces acting independently. This would happen one force would affect the others and I have seen the odds of a universe being able to support some form of life as being 50/50. This was in one of the science of the disc world books but I can't remember which one off the top of my head.
Planet formation is quite well explained by natural means but is an emerging field and will be refined. Science ain't finished, but the idea that there was a god involved at any level rather is.
Please enlighten me on your vast knowledge of evolution.
The odds are not 50/50. Virtually no odds come out to 50/50, so it sounds it me like someone just guessing randomly.
The idea of God has not been removed from science, and in fact most of the founders of science believed that they were studying God's design.
You say the idea of God seems stupid, but it is more reasonable that the highly ordered things that we see around us were created than that they created themselves. You tell me I need to grow up, but it seems like you are the one wish projecting. Complex, irregular information cannot arrange itself no matter how much you wish it could.

As for "explaining" aliens, I'll need to see evidence for them being here as well.
Simply because we can't currently explain a phenomenon is no justification to reach for your preferred explanation. That's sloppy thinking.
Well I find it hard to believe that we are receiving indications in our universe that there are other universes. If something is being observed from our universe, then doesn't that make it part of our universe?
The UFO thing is just referring to the times you hear about UFO's being tracked on radar and then disappearing. This would break the laws of a 3D realm, but not 4D. I'm not saying I believe in these UFO sightings, but they are explainable with the 4D realm.
And how come I can't propose an explanation that fits the evidence? Why is it sloppy thinking for me to propose an idea that works with the data rather than wait for naturalism to finally produce answers?
