The observed facts are that the Earth is the right distance from the sun 
for life as we know it to exist on Earth.

There are various possibilities.

a) Chance.

b) Life as we know it exists on Earth because it's at the right distance.

c) Earth was set at the right distance by some entity.

None of the above can be positively excluded, and the solution does not 
have to be (c).

Sylvia.
