Statistical probability. Build enough planets around enough stars, and eventually one will be just the right distance. Enough planets at the right distance, and eventually one will have the right environmental circumstances. Earth is the inexorable result of probability.
We don't need a god to explain why earth is how it is, it was impossible for an earth like planet to not form in the universe given the number of planets and stars formed.
Man evolved to live on this planet. Being earth chauvinistic to close your mind to possibilities of intelligent life given different circumstances is a mistake. Earth is perfect for us, because we have evolved to live on earth.

Do you really think this was just some freaky conincidence? It is more likely that a God desined this perfect set of circumstances than it just popping up out of no where. Last time I checked man did not make earth. Man did not create the stars. Did all this happen from nothing?

There are well over a trillion stars in the
known universe. We know AT LEAST 5% of those stars have planets if our current data is representative of the universe at large. Out of trillions of planets, it is not unlikely at all that there could be billions or trillions of other planets that have similar temperatures and atmospheres as earth.
If you're going into an argument of beginnings, your believe is severely flawed. Evidence suggests that the universe began with a monster explosion, which created matter as we know it. From here, natural cosmic evolution led to the formation of everything else. There is no evidence for a god, nor is there any reason one is necessary.

God is not a continginet being like humans. He is a Necessary being, meaning He is self-exsisting. He needs no cause, He is the cause, the first cause.
Everything is in motion, everything. For it to be in motion, something must put it in motion. There must be a first mover. That is God.

Evidence? Again there is no reason that there need be a god here either. Science has shown that everything that has occurred has occurred by natural means. If you're arguing that the god was the mover that created the big bang, then what was the creator of your god?
As there is no evidence of a god, claiming one be necessary is a foolish extraction.
