Conditions are hardly perfect. Pick a point at random in the universe: on a scale of one to ten, how likely is it that you would die there in seconds? It all wants to kill us! The prettier, the deadlier.

Plus: conditions anywhere have only been suitable for us so far. And only recently. It is elementary that we do not live in the best of all possible universes. We already know the infinite dark that is approaching when the age of stars comes to an end.

Of course, conditions are only suitable for life as we know it. Other conditions might allow for something else that could not even conceive of something like us.

We're like a puddle marveling at how well it fits into its pothole, even as it evaporates into nothing.
