Not a compelling argument for a divine creation given that there are quite probably trillions of planets in the universe.

Arguing after the fact that something is against all odds is pointless. As an example I once stepped out of a dressing room in a gym and had to pass back through the weight room to reach the outside door. As soon as I stepped through the door I stopped and did a double take. Just to my left was a little man doing butterflies with two small dumbbells. He had not been in the building when I entered the dressing area a few minutes earlier. He was a shipmate from a Navy ship on which we had been stationed fifteen years earlier, we had even been assigned to the same department and slept in the same berthing area. He grew up five hundred or more miles away from me. He had happened to be passing through this small town and used his guest privileges from another gym. What are the odds against that? Obviously a string of events had to happen at just the right time and in the right sequence or we would never have seen each other. It doesn't matter because it had already happened.

The question is, was it by design, or chance? Occam's Razor would say it was the latter.
