All you have to do is look at the range from the strength of gravity to the strong nuclear force and see that there is a wide range of values forces could have had, but they just happen to be just right for life.
Stop the bullshit, Solar. Here you sit on planet earth, and you look around and say "here's life - therefore GOD." If any of a billion variables had not worked out properly we would not be sitting here having this conversation.
That does not imply goddidit the way you seem to think. It implies "shit happens." In all the hundreds of billions of stars there are planets and the odds are that some of them, just like earth, have experienced an evolution of life. It is a question of probability. Of course, the 'happy zone' that you seem so proud of exists around every star but that only applies to life forms like us. We cannot even speculate on how life may have developed outside that zone.
You have an apparent need to feel "special," and your fairy tales fill that need Therefore, keep listening to con man preachers who tell you what you want to hear. You'll he happier that way.
