Take into account billions and billions of barren planets in this universe, on which life never evolved. It's obvious that we got here by random, chance accident. Also take into account many parallel universes in which the laws of physics were slightly different, and lost stability and immediately collapsed. It's quite possible that such "failed universes" dissipated quickly before life could arise in them. Add to it the fact that 99% percent of species that ever existed on earth itself went extinct. The earth itself is not in the middle of the "sweet spot" of the habitable zone. We are precariously close to the hot zone border. Push earth just 5% percent inside and it will become like venus. I just don't see any 'personal god' anywhere. It was just a totally random chance accident.
