It could have been worse. What Bruce is alluding to is there are several different universal constants that if they had slightly different values, life would be impossible. Now these universal constants are thought to take on their values when the universe is created. And there is no reason to suspect that the values are anything but random. This is considered by some a sign that some higher power specifically shaped our universe to support life. The problem is, this almost certainly isn't the only universe. There are some gravitational anomalies, masses of galaxies moving in certain directions, that could be explained by a nearby universe that is too far for light to reach us, but their gravitational fields can. There is every reason to believe that if there are multiple universes then there is a whole bunch not just some small number. So if that is true, then the fact that at least one of those universes has universal constants that support life is not a huge surprise. There is a TED talk on this subject. ted.com
