Jupiter was the result of solar system formation according to physics which is running all over the universe. There's trillions of trillions of Jupiter's out there. What's Marvelous is that exploded stars running on basic physics lead to interesting chemistry which eventually evolved into life and intelligence, which then creates science to understand itself. The universe according to basic physical laws leads to self-understanding of itself. That's what's amazingly and miraculous. Substituting God into the story doesn't make it more amazing, it actually makes it less.

Nothing about our existence is amazing and miraculous if the popular multiverse theories are correct. In that case, we're just in one of a trillion-trillion to infinite copies of this universe that happens to look this way.

  That could be considered equally, if not more amazing.

  That'd still be pretty awesome, actually.

  I don't understand why people say that. Even IF the multiverse theories are right (good luck finding evidence for that) our universe would still be amazing. Sure I'm "just" an animal, but the stars at night are still amazing, flowers are still amazing, my wife is still amazing and so on. I don't know of any evolutionary reason why humans should find the stars and nebulae beautiful and even if a reason was found I still see no reason why suddenly they would not be beautiful anymore.

    If you have an amazing wife, you are more than "just an animal". Is it you God?

Everything you said is perfectly compatible with believing in God. Particularly believing in a God who is the source of existence itself, including the existence of matter and the existence of the physical laws which lead to the results you so eloquently described. None of that "substitutes God into the story". Now, maybe the poster meant literal six day creationism, but that's a minority view even among American Christians. And that wasn't actually stated.
