So, while this statement is certainly not incorrect, it is very simplistic. Akin to saying that something along the lines of an electron is not as complicated as the entire universe. While true, it just doesn't add any insight to the discussion.
What evidence is there that any of these parameters could be any other way? If there is no way for these parameters to be different then there was a 100 percent chance the universe would support life.
This one is based on a logical fallacy, the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy. "I won the lottery, therefore my chance of winning the lottery was 100%." "Things turned out this way, so the chances of turning out this way were 100%." It's basically akin to shooting at the side of a barn, and then drawing a bullseye around the bullet hole.
