Not one star; countless billions, with more being born all the time. But even so, why is that so improbable? You're trying to assert that in a universe of infinite possibilities, it's at least possible that this intelligent agency of yours has a chance of existing (or at least can't be shown not to exist; a textbook argument from ignorance). The difference between the scenario you're positing is we have a well-substantiated body of evidence of how stars and planets form naturally. Do the same for your intelligent agency and we'd need never again have this discussion.

Define 'perfect', because the Earth's orbital distance varies by around 3000 miles over the course of a year. That's chicken feed in orbital dynamics, of course, but now you have to justify such a margin of error in your 'perfection'.
Not to mention that the Sun is eventually going to swell into a red giant, vaporising everything out to Mars. Is that included in your definition of 'perfect' as well?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
