Along these lines, also see the Anthropic Principle [0] which states that "observations of the universe must be compatible with the conscious and sapient life that observes it."

Also silly unfalsifiable argument without any external reference frame. It might well be that the universe is ultimately incompatible with sentient life, just incidentally appears as such in the current timeframe.

The simpler version of it is "God's will".
