What do you think about the anthropic principle? If there are other universes where different laws of physics apply, or where the physical constants are such that they do not allow for the emergence of intelligent life, then, naturally, intelligent life does not appear in these universes. But in our universe, it did. We can observe this firsthand. And in those places in our universe, or in other universes, where there may be different laws of physics, there is no one to observe them because such laws do not allow for the existence of an intelligent observer. It seems logical to me. If a person closes their eyes, they cannot see whether their friend has closed their eyes, but with their eyes open, they can perfectly observe their neighbor. On the other hand, we do not know if universes with different laws even exist, and if they do, perhaps these laws allow for the existence of some observers with whom we cannot communicate. The question of "why intelligent life exists in our universe" seems silly to me because the answer to it is also rather silly – because that's how it happened, or that's how randomness distributed things. Because if it weren't that way, we wouldn't exist at all, but we do, and there's nothing miraculous about it; it's all perfectly normal.
