Edit: so the argument would be something along the lines of: the less we need to describe the universe, the more probable it is that it exists (due to the fact that, given that it does in fact exist, the more complex it is, the more different universes could exist in its place). That's of course assuming there is one universe! If we assume that there can be multiple universes then there is no easy way to posit that a simpler one is more probable.
