The story of this planets capacity to support life reads like The Perils of Pauline. Our heroine, life, faces many calamities leading to our times if you read Lovejoy's "Gaia". Most think Pauline is in peril again owing to our determination to set loose all the carbon which natural systems have managed to sequester for so long. If one studies the mechanisms involved, they all look natural enough. Lovejoy's hypothesis is that the planet as a whole is as complex as any organism and so it help to understand its systems as those of a creature inclined toward survival. But that sure looks more like evolution to me that it does design.
If a god had created the planet, you might expect a more steady state life zone. But the real reason it doesn't make sense to look for a genie as manufacturing life as we know it, is that we would then have to turn our attention to the genies themselves. How did they evolve, or did they too have a creator?
