I wasn't talking about it proving God or even making his existence more likely. I was just talking about how life is amazing. Saying it's almost too good to be true, is just an expression not to be taken literally.
You should adjust what you would think as amazing in light of best information on the mathematical probability.
Mathematical probability suggests the chance of life arising and evolving to high complexity in the universe is staggeringly high.
Therefore the fact that life is abundant and complex is expected, trivially ordinary an outcome. It would be yokelish to be amazed at that which is so overwhelmingly likely.
If there was no life, then you should be amazed.
