Not only that, all the conditions, the infintesimally small factors, were in place from the very beginning moment leading up to this one for a planet such as ours to spawn life. And then for that life to become us...the odds are literally beyond impossible. So then it becomes a question of, 'to what end?'
Yes, it works. Yes, the conditions were right for things to exist and evolve. But that doesn't mean any of this was predetermined by an all-knowing mind in the sky. Evolution has no ultimate goal. Things could have turned out a lot differently. If that asteroid had missed Earth 65 million years ago, we probably wouldn't be here today.
