“Rare Earth” is another thoughtful approach, though not explicitly theistic.

In one chapter of Privileged Planet, they discuss a spectrum ranging from the “totally random” to the “completely designed” views of the universe.

There were some others on their scale, but these three ranked this way:
Rare Earth < Privileged Planet < Case for a Creator

PP made STRONG allusions to a Creator and a Purpose, but only specifically stated, strongly, that where we are, as well as the fine tuned rules of the universe, were too precise to be accidental.
