You would have to set foot on a planet with the right atmospheric composition air pressure and that kind of thing, or wear a space suit at least. But a universe that can support/develop life in every part may not even be functionally/scientifically possible to create in the first place we just don't know so this is a non-argument from ignorance.
wow... that was simple!

We ought to be running around naked on the Savannah being eaten by lions, but because as we're made "in Gods image" we can do a great deal more we're not limited by our environment. So while you can still be an atheist and that's a valid position you can't use the universe itself and what we know of it to support your world view as this would work perfectly well as a deliberate creation of an omnipotent creator God or as a random physical byproduct of some kind that just happened to be the way it is for no real significant reason.Well, duh!!
Add magic and anything is possible... Even physics! Quantum mechanics! General Relativity!

Oh, you mean the "it's built custom made for us" thing?
Why must there be a thinking entity generating a reason for our existence?

That's not really the case when you understand the level of complexity and fine tuning that would allow for life in a universe such as this to occur.
Can't wait to hit the search button and provide you with the 70 page paper that debunks all the fine-tuning constants...

God is perfectly compatible with the reality and suffering of human life and the reality of science.

I think you should be made aware that you also have nothing to support the case for the existence of god... any god.
