To some degree the rewind question is moot-just as the fine tuning argument can always be rejected by claiming we are incredibly lucky to exist, the claim that we are incredibly lucky to exist evolutionarily can be seen instead as an example of incredible fine-tuning.

        I think one can make a good theological argument that the emergence of intelligent life was part of God's intention for the evolutionary process. But I see no reason why an intelligent species would have had to be mammalian, bilaterally symmetric, or to have had many of the other features of Homo sapiens.
