Is life on Earth an accident?

Soman Chainani, in a discussion with Tim Ferriss, suggests that the existence of life on Earth is a "weird freak accident" that defies the larger cosmic scheme, implying that there's no inherent meaning to life. He stresses that this accidental nature of life makes it remarkable and worth enjoying. This perspective is shared by other guests on Ferriss' podcast, such as BJ Miller and Ed Cook, who also reflect on the randomness and wonder of life's existence when considering the vastness of the universe 1.
