I've seen people claiming "considering how hostile outer space is, it was very unlikely for Earth to exist in the first place with the perfect conditions for intelligent life to develop".

I'd like to reverse the question: using any intuitive definition of "randomness", given that existence of intelligent life is a fact, how likely was it that we ended up existing in a reality with these physical laws in particular? Like, if your mom in her desperation to lose weight literally altered the laws of physics without having thought through her plan at all, would it be more likely that she'd lose weight, maintain it, put on, or simply stop existing in her entirety?
