The fact that the universe and our solar system is fine-tuned to support life demands for intelligent design.
Of course, there is literally NO evidence for assuming that ANY random universe wouldn’t have some kind of life. The mere fact that this one does have life doesn’t mean it had to. You’re erroneously inferring purpose where none exists. Your argument fails unless you can provide evidence of purpose — and by extension that life is the universal final cause. Good luck.

For life to start, information had to start at the same time and there is no possible way in which random specified information can come into existence without an intelligent being originating it.
Whoa, there. You’ve already been asked for a succinct explanation of what type/definition of information you’re using. Your spiel about random specified information is utterly meaningless without that context (and may in fact be meaningless WITH that context).
Would you care to try and frame an actual argument rather than random handwaving?
