Its formation occured at exactly the right time to allow life to start, life started and began evolving 3 billion years ago. If the universe is 13.7 billion years old, this means that for the first 10 billion years, while it couldn't support life, it was expanding - ultimatly to the size it is now. Thus, the size of the universe is a direct side-effect of its ability to support life.Surely (assuming we grant you all of this without qualm-which no one has to) you mean:
"thus, the ability to support life is a direct side-effect of the size of the universe"
