  2.  @valoredramack9117  This is a logical fallacy. First of all, the universe is freakin' HUGE, containing somewhere on the order of 10^22 planets in it (that's 10 with 22 zeroes after it). The fact that one had the right conditions for life is not at all surprising --- in fact, given our current knowledge of biochemistry (which is more than sufficient to hypothesize about how life might have started), it would be a miracle of there was no life in the universe at all! But what applies to individual objects within a universe (e.g. a pyramid, a planet, a solar system, a galaxy, etc.) does not apply to the universe as a whole, because that is jumping one logical sphere. To give an example, it is true to say that every human that has ever existed had a mother (Adam and Eve weren't real, sorry if this is news to you), but it is not true to say that the human race had (has?) a mother. Same thing with the universe as a whole. Additionally, given that space and time are intertwined (as Einstein showed us), there was no time before the Big Bang and hence it makes no sense to ask "what came before?" So both philosophically and scientifically, this argument does not hold water. Another argument from ignorance is that the universe is somehow "fine-tuned" for life, but given that it seems that everything out to kill us (weather, climate, asteroids, supernovae, galaxies colliding, etc.), this takes gullibility to another level of extreme. We're only here because a slow, painful process of evolution by natural selection played out for 4 billion years, with innumerable setbacks and unfathomable amounts of suffering. Not exactly the handiwork one would expect from an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent deity.
