The appropriate gases must be present in sufficiant quantities; the necessary temperature must be constant (or at least mild enough). I realize that not all life is the same, and that theoretically there could be other ways of creating life from different elements and environments. My point still stands, however, that not all-- or even half-- of all of the planets in the Universe would be able to begin or support life.
You're jumping to conclusions much too quickly though, who says that all life would have to be like us? There could be some aliens that could ONLY live in extremely high temperature, or vice versa, or some aliens that would not need oxygen to live, and rather breathe methane, etc. You don't know what others need to live, only what we need to live. Therefore, every planet in existance is hospitable to some sort of life, just not always us.

And once again, I didn't overexaggerate how many planets are actually in existance-- I severely understated the actualy amount of planets, because as far as we know, the number is much too high to comprehend. But, we could go with what you say and assume that one planet in every galaxy can support our life, as in, human life-- (there are several even in our solar system that could through a process called terraforming) now-- how many galaxies are there in the universe? Still tons. And we're still a one in whatever the hell million chance-- not very good odds, which is why I believe we're purely coincidental.
Why would God create trillions upon zillions upon fring-ging-gillions of planets and then put life on one? What are the others? Works in progress?
