First we really don't know how much life there is or might be. We do now know that solar systems and planets aren't rare. So far most of the solar systems we have been able to detect appear a lot different than ours.
So, moving away from the hypotheticals and getting back to the facts - while we do not know of any other kind of life that may or may not be possible in this universe or an alternate one, what we can say is "existence of god is not the best explanation for why we find ourselves alive in a universe that only barely and minimally allows for our existence".
What a funny methodology. Decide what you 'believe' the facts to be - or want the facts to be - and then argue about what follows from that. This is what is known as engaging in a rational discussion? Then anyone can dismiss your work by dismissing your initial premises. But that won't stop you. What do you think the odds are you won't be able to agree on the appropriate initial premises? I'd say very nearly one.
