We exist because we're the expression of existence?
Anthrocentric. We may be the only species we know of that can perceive the universe, but it's clear that not every member of our species has this luxury (one is unlikely to be pondering the cosmos while dodging shelling in Syria, for example), and it's obvious that the universe exists whether we are around to perceive it or not. It existed before humans, it will exist after.
Unnecessary occurrence vs cosmic luck - actions have causes and actions have consequences/results. Two chunks of rock collide in space, one of them gets influenced by gravity that alters its trajectory. A planet-smashing asteroid is born. Bad luck for us but a necessary result of the occurrence of two rocks colliding.
