1) Despite the enormous odds, things just happend to work out that way. This is basically the Weak Antrhopic Principle. I find the WAP to be something of a cop out.
You are talking as if Earth is the only planet in the universe and that Sol is the only star in the universe.
If the constants are instead some other values different than they are now, given the infinite nature of the universe I'm pretty sure conditions favorable for life, different in nature perhaps, would have inevitably arisen somewhere else out there.
Your argument would have more merit if Earth is the only planet in the universe and somehow conditions are just right for life exist on this single planet.

2) This is only one of many, many universes, most of which cannot and do not contain life. We have some speculative mathematical expositions to support this notion, but no real evidence.
This statement makes no sense.
