I've long been aware that there are certain characteristics of our Solar system that makes life possible on Planet earth, and the other day I saw an article where they noted there are approximately 200 of these relatively unique characteristics, the lack of which would have prevented Life from developing on Earth.

Sure, but in an essentially limitless universe, it's almost inevitable that the right conditions will be met somewhere. If I roll snake eyes 200 times in a row among a set of a hundred trillion dice rolls, it might seem amazing, but it's just random.

The "magic" is that we happen to be living in that hundred trillion to one condition. We are all lottery winners.
