And it's not really an argument, it is a fact that certain conditions in characteristics of the universe must be true for life as we know it to exist. Secondly no one knows just how much other life there is. We do know there are other planets circling around stars.
In fact, it is not true that certain conditions must be true for life as we know it (or any other possible life, for that matter) to exist. You cannot extrapolate onto the entire universe, a data point of one. In fact, we know next to nothing about what conditions exist elsewhere that could lead to life, or for that matter, in some other universe. What we are certain of is that there is nothing special in this universe that requires, or even guarantees life to exist. It could just as easily not have come about. The bulk of the universe consists of hard radiation and hard vaccuum that is utterly hostile to life. Perhaps you should watch this video:

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
