In fact, if the chances of getting a universe with stars are 10-229, only what is effectively an infinity of universes will do if it is life we want. In an infinite number of universes, by definition, everything that can happen must happen, over and over again: problem solved! But just to invoke infinity as the ‘explanation’ of anything – because whatever it is you can imagine must happen repeatedly in infinity – is not only not a cogent explanation, it is not an explanation at all. It is also intrinsically unverifiable, which means that it is a matter of faith.
