That, in a nutshell, is the fine-tuning argument. We are not interested in why this universe exists, but why a life-permitting one exists. As in the drawing above, we have very good reasons to think the universe was rigged for life.
Could you please elaborate on what those very good reasons are. In addition, supposing that the universe was rigged for life, how can you be sure that the Christian deity, and not some other deity (or some other life-form for that matter), is actually responsible?
