Of course, someone might instead ask how the multiverse just happened to be orderly enough to produce complex universes, and ultimately life. But the same question could be asked of God, too. How did he just happen to be so well ordered and conveniently gifted as to produce our rich, complicated cosmos, complete with intelligent life and every good thing? We would be no less “lucky” to have such a god than to have a multiverse. Indeed, we would have to be far luckier, because a god is far more convenient, and—assuming he’s a nice guy and everything—far better for us.
