No, there wasn't a trillion trillion other universes that failed on balancing gravity and dark energy and this particular one out that group just happened to get it right.
We have no way of knowing how many failed universes preceded this one due to constants being out of bounds; therefore, we shouldn't even be using a probability calculation because we have insufficient data.
Snowtracks, if you need to go to these lengths to prove a god exists, maybe it's just time to face the music and accept that it's just not there. The only person you're fooling is yourself. It's an old story. Nothing more.
