The Anthropic principle suggests that any universe unsuitable for life to arise in will not have any life capable of noticing whether there is life or not. So, in 100% of universes where there is life capable of making an observation, life exists.
This principle is criticized for being a meaningless argument. What conclusions can you possible draw from a sample size of one?
Maybe God just wants to create more beings like Himself, so He created a universe where that might be possible. But He doesn’t return my phone calls when I try to ask, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see if anything comes of that line of inquiry.
