Its survivorship bias, in that we would only exist in environments suitable for us. Hence, it’s wrong to say that the world is “perfect for us,” instead, we evolved in the conditions already existing here. It’s like saying “this divot in the road was perfectly made for the puddle inside it”

Well sure but that's opposed to a world where we manage to survive regardless and still recognize that our conditions aren't ideal. If you believe in God, it'd make sense to attribute that to him

Yeah, that’s our current world, conditions aren’t ideal, only 12% of the earth is habitable to humans. To be honest, if the universe was perfectly made for life, or like it was in Genesis (with the dome, basically the whole universe being the flat earth) , I would consider that pretty good design.

Our world is very far from ideal, even compared to times in earth’s past. Most of the world is covered in water which we cannot drink. Both poles have dense, inhospitable ice sheets. Numerous wild plants and mushrooms are poisonous, so much so that inexperienced foragers often die.

In the distant past, the oceans were fresh water. 30 million years ago, Antarctica was green and grew palm trees. And this is the real earth just historically. In some hypothetical, alternate earth, you could create a network of islands and ocean so that there aren’t great impassable oceans or rugged interior deserts. You could have all plants be edible. You could give rid of eye-parasitic worms and mosquitos.

Oh yeah also the sun gives us cancer, sometimes mountains explode and either burn or suffocate you, there’s radioactive gas in the soil, sometimes toxic algae gets too much nitrogen and poisons everything around it, there’s hurricanes tornadoes and tsunamis, and we have parasitic insects that live in our hair.
