Would you like to squander your best feature in your creation if we are to assume that a creator was designing it? In fact only in this possible universe where life is so precious we are able to call certain circumstances “highly improbable” and then for believers “miraculous” everything is tune for us to inscript the miracle of life as a personal intelligent creator would have like to. But of course this creator doesn't reveal Himself to everybody and this makes you very upset I suppose :-)
If I were God and I am not :-) I would consider it a very good occasion in creating life to create conditions that makes it more difficult otherwise life in itself would be less precious and it is precious since we know that in not all possible universe is possible.
The fact that in this universe not everywhere life is possible makes it in itself a chosen condition from a personal kind of creator. If an intelligent creator had to conceive life it would it make it more difficult than easier ( in latin would be called lectio difficilior)
I guess I regained my enthusiasm for tackling theistic arguments now I realize where the more serious flaws are. Rather then merely an "evidential" approach, I now try to dig away at the foundation itself.
True, but what has changed is that I do approach theistic arguments from a very different direction now, namely primarily about epistemic problems with the arguments like in these videos: why the moral argument is unprovable, why religious apologists cannot possibly win, why apologetics is meaningless, putting religious experience in its place, etc.
I would think artificial intelligent, self-replicating robots that are resistant to heat, cold, radiation, etc. would feel more at home in this universe.

Why should MWI be considered true? Moreover, why should we assume that every possible universe we can conceive is indeed a true possible universe?
For example, what if the manifestation of life is metaphysically necessary in all possible universes?

"Why should MWI be considered true?"
You mean a multiverse hypothesis? It shouldn't
"why should we assume that every possible universe we can conceive is indeed a true possible universe?"
We shouldn't
"what if the manifestation of life is metaphysically necessary in all possible universes?"
Possible, but seems very unlikely to me. But I guess it would to you as well.
