In short, it isn’t that the universe is designed for (human) life but that our kind of life is an outcome of our particular universe. It counters the reasoning that, in one form or another, “our universe is so well tuned for (human) life that there must exist some designer of this universe”.

The reasoning behind it is that there may exist or have existed countless other universes and if they never supported life there wouldn’t be any observer.
