The suitability of our universe for the evolution of life is incredibly unlikely, which means there were, or are, many failed (or failing) universes.
This implies that a diversity exists in universes, such that some support life and others don't--or perhaps suitability for life falls along a spectrum.
If it's somehow possible to create universes, and it must be possible since there are universes, then it's possible that the life in some universes will figure out how to do it.
Universes in which life learns to create new universes will likely create them to be similarly hospitable.
Such hospitable universes, as such, would then, over "time" increases as a proportion of all universes.
Given enough time, virtually all universes may be hospitable to life.
If the universes most suitable to life create universes faster still, as they might since there will be more life within them to do this, then given enough time any given universe can be assumed to be teeming with life.
Given the immensity of the cosmos, it would be incredibly unlikely that we should happen to exist at it's relative youth.
This point is further emphasized by the exquisite harmonies we find in our own universe, and thus we may assume it to be the most "recent" in a very, very old line of progenitor universes.
We know this universe is suitable for life. But what's even more fascinating is that our best guess is that it isn't even rare. Rather, our universe is likely to by one among countless others that are teeming with it.
