Hi Stuart;
Your above words were proceeded by a caveat that they weren't intended to spark a debate (which is cool .. I've had my fill of that, this week myself), so, that being said, I offer the following (hopefully quiet) aside comment.
Surely we would only see ourselves as being 'lucky', if we thought our own existence had some sort of meaning. Things just happen .. luck is in the mind of some kind of beholder (ie: probably, us).

I think this indicates that there is another instance of life. I also think extrapolation from two instances, is still fraught with the same issues.
