In a universe with the correct physical laws to allow life to exist. Which this one (obviously!) has.

This is the Fine-tuned Universe argument:

The premise of the fine-tuned Universe assertion is that a small change in several of the dimensionless fundamental physical constants would make the Universe radically different. As Stephen Hawking has noted, "The laws of science, as we know them at present, contain many fundamental numbers, like the size of the electric charge of the electron and the ratio of the masses of the proton and the electron. ... The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life."

This is a much stronger argument for a Creator than anything creationist critics of evolution have come up with.
