First off, Earth isn't "perfectly suitable" for life; the Earth is often a hostile and impersonal place, where life just manages to hold on to the skin of the planet. Second, of all the countless planets, it's more likely that many planets are capable of hosting earthlike life, as science is beginning to see as we observe more of the universe beyond our own planet. Third, now you're putting the cart before the horse again: earth isn't "perfectly suited" to life, life evolved to survive in the environment it was presented with. By saying this, yet again, you're indulging in the fallacious reasoning that tells the puddle that the hole it's in was designed for it.
It's like you're not fucking listening to a word anyone tells you!
