Intelligent Design

Who cares if we found planets outside the solar system. It is fine tuning of the universe, not fine tuning of the solar system. 
You should read the book The Privelaged Planet, or watch the documentary, which describes how rare the conditions that permit life. Obviously rare and highly unlikely arguments aren't always good, but it's still interesting.

Here's a couple articles about the cosmological constant.

People seem to have this concept backwards.
There is no rare conditions that can permit life. This is false concept. Life evolves in such a manner so that it can survive in a given environment - this is what evolution states. Adjusting to the environment. The environment is not what adjusts itself to facilitate life.

Am I right? I hope I am.

Okay, since there was no objection, I'll assume I was right.

But this then naturally gives rise to another question:
Why aren't there life on another planet which is as old as earth?
I remember asking this question to my teacher when I was in 10th grade and he replied that it was due to the extreme conditions in another planets, like say, mars.

Isn't that getting the concept backwards again?
Logically, according to a planet like say, mars, our planet have extreme conditions and yet is able to facilitate life.
Furthermore, isn't saying that there is an absence of life in another planet like say mars, is due to extreme environmental conditions implying that the environment is what adjusts itself to facilitate life? Which is getting the concept backwards again?

Stimbo replied to this question of mine question as

we don't know.

I have to ask though, if there is no life in other planets that are as old as earth then doesn't that experimentally prove that life doesn't adjust itself to the environment?
