It's not THAT good, I haven't been laid in years.

Not really. We're sitting on the accomplishments of three billion years of blue-green algae. Drop a human on early Earth, and he'd be dead in the four minutes it'd take for his brain to run out of oxygen. It took three billion years of photosynthesis to produce enough oxygen to outpace it being removed through oxidation of rocks and metals in the environment, and build up enough free oxygen that the life-forms that adapted to it could take off.
This would have happened if Earth was somewhat closer to the Sun than it is now. Maybe not as close as Venus, but still closer. It would also have happened if Earth was out at the distance of Mars. Mars too once supported an atmosphere thick and warm enough to support oceans. Take a look at the pictures returned by the Spirit and Opportunity rovers sometime, and you'll see the sort of layering that could only have formed in the presence of water. And, by all rights, Mars should still be a warm, hospitable planet. The rate it's losing atmosphere is much too small to account for its present-day state. So Something Bad happened to Mars at sometime in its early history.
Something Bad could have just as easily happened to Earth, and we'd all be marveling at the seemingly perfect conditions that allowed for the flourishing of life on the fourth planet from the Sun.

The conditions we live in are true...good or bad has nothing to do with it.

It wasn't always like this, no oxygen and hot as hell in the Hadean, frozen except near the equator during "snowball Earth". We evolved to suit the conditions, they weren't created to suit us.

That's a relative question. We'd either be adpated to the conditions or not be here.
The thing is, we are now ruining those conditions.

They are good because they are true, and true because they are good. It's like the quote "beauty is truth and truth is beauty" Some things are coupled and can't be separated, like goodness and truth.

Hi. Not too good to be true, but VERY rare.

I guess it could not be too much different or we would not be here!
