Given the ridiculously long odds against the Universse working out as it has on its own, Occam's Razor woudl require us to postulate that it was set up this way by something.
What that thing is or does is the next question. But to believe that it was all just spontaneous or a chian of random events is to belive that pigs fly.
I have yet to see any atheist explain how matter is a completely natural phenomenon.
I have debated atheists all across the web, and not one has yet explained how matter brought itself into existence.
Yes, I am doing my part to at least make agnostics out of atheists.

But if the universe had "worked out" differently, you (or your counterpart in that hypothetical other universe) would probably still be pointing out how ridiculously unlikely THAT ARRANGEMENT would be.
This is known as the Anthropic Principle (I recommend that you google it).
