Life is the most advanced of chemical systems on a macroscopic scale to date.

What began with perfect order, through entropy, dissolved into disorder. That disorder, however, was not perfect disorder; it created order to go along with it. This "order" gradually goes to a higher state while at the same time increasing the amount of disorder in the universe. Intelligent life is merely one stage of this progression.

Alternatively, our consciousnesses are such that it could be no other way. Instead of saying that we are a chance occurance, of chemicals interacting, we can say that the universe exists as it does BECAUSE we ARE. Philosophically, the "way we are" predetermines the nature of existence. If the electroweak force was SLIGHTLY different, then we would not exist, and we could not have these thoughts. Since we DO exist and have these thoughts, then the electroweak force MUST be within certain parameters.
