Is it not true that the universe seems to be just right for the possibility and indeed fact of life?
No.
In fact, it seems exactly the opposite. Life is just right for the universe in which it finds itself.
How could it be any other way? The fundamental constants of the universe don't change. At the very least, we have never found any way they could ever be changed. Life, on the other hand, is constantly mutating and never remains consistent.
Therefore, which seems to be the more likely scenario:
The immutable object changed itself to match the protean or the protean object changed itself to match the immutable?

If the universe was any smaller or bigger would Oxygen be a certainty?
Who cares?
Who said life requires oxygen? If the universe were different, then we wouldn't be here. Instead, something else would be.
Why is the sky blue? Because if it were green we would ask, why is the sky green?
Are you really saying that the question, "Why is the sky blue?" came into being before the sky and thus the sky was deliberately made to be blue so that the question could be asked?
Or perhaps the sky is whatever color physics made it be and the people who came after the sky wondered about why the sky is the way it is.

I have recently heard about this 'Theory Of Everything'.
Why do I get the feeling you know nothing about it.
Quick question: What is the big thing about the Theory of Everything? That is, what is it trying to unify.
Hint: It has to do with fundamental forces.

The anti gravity force seems to be making the universe grow bigger , this opened a can of worms in the wiz box
It hasn't been nearly as problematic for physicists, though. They take it in stride, make the observations, and construct their theories to accomodate the new information. It hasn't resulted in anybody saying, "Well hell...the Big Bang couldn't have happened."

I am interested in learning more about space and time.
Why don't you do some research with an open mind for a change? Rather than go to your creationist sources, certain that the answer has to be a specific way, why not go to physicist sources and listen to what they have to say, even if it completely contradicts your preconceived notion of the way things ought to be?
