What is the most amazing fact about the Universe

for me, the most interesting thing about Our universe, is that it is perfectly balanced for life; just as our planet's place is in the perfect spot for life, the Goldilocks Zone, so is our Universe; not too much gravity, and not to little gravity, just the right amount for stars to evolve, that can create the stuff of life, which we are made of; now how amazing is that; and you don't need to postulate a Supreme Being to know this, it is knowable through the study of physics;

which is even more amazing, as it shows that intelligent life is capable of evolving in this Universe, able to answer the deepest questions of it's existence, without needing to rely on a first cause for the answers; and this intelligent life, which we are, is only 2 million years old, less than a billionth of a second, on the cosmic 24 hour clock; yet smaller than the smallest known part of an atom, in relation to the vastness of the Universe; who needs religion to feel the humility of our existence;
