The most philosophically and mathematically consistent interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is that there are "many worlds". This is a very strong hint (but not proof, per-se) that there isn't a singular, unique Universe in the classical sense.

In other words, there is a continuum of possibilities where all scenarios consistent with the laws of physics are played out.

Note that this is not evidence (not even circumstantial) that there are other universes with different laws of physics. Just universes with different states or boundary conditions.

Still though, if MWI is true, then there are effectively infinite possibilities in which the chance of life occurring somewhere approaches certainty.
