Zen's question was about 'life', not about "earthly life." Giving evidence that earthly life could only exist in a narrow band is irrelevant to whether the universe is tuned for life in general. So you gave an answer to the wrong question. "Fail."
On top of that, even if you had answered the right question, you'd have been supporting Zen's point that, because so little of the universe is suitable for life, it doesn't appear particularly well tuned to produce life.
Double fail.
the only life known is earthly life. the U. is inimical to life which rails against chance occurrence.
the U. has been designed exclusively for human being purposes. when that is finished, the U. will be destroyed by fire: "That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat." but since it's purpose is for human beings, they themselves will continue existence. after 13 billion years, it appears we are on the very edge of the U's destruction.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
