"However, as scientists have studied the fundamental principles that govern our universe, they have discovered that the odds of a universe like ours being compatible with life are astronomically low."

False statement and all that follows is null.

Cites a 2016 book and seems willfully blind to the exponential explosion of exoplanet discovery in that ensuing period.

No, it is simply a matter of whether a "Goldilocks zone" civilization exists now (in the recessive time frame pretty much once you get past Proxima), or existed then (far more likely); or a proto-planet in pre-civilization mode (let's go!).

No, THIS has nothing to do with goldilocks zones or the PROBABILITY of life given the suspected values of Ernst-equation factors. In fact, for decades, not since 2016, physicists have presumed that planets are super-abundant and that life is a near-certain consequence of our universe given the known universal constants. Rather, this is about the likelihood that the universal constants are consistent with life at all.
