Jus' think how incredibly unlikely it was that human beings evolved. I mean, that asteroid had to have hit the Earth 66 million years ago, and at that specific particular place to have the right sort of impact etc.
I have a solution! Suppose there are in fact a squillion different Universes, all with precisely the same laws. None of the others have humans in. The reason why we therefore find ourselves in this Universe with such an unlikely event, is that we couldn't be in any other Universe to have this thought in the first place. Voila! 😉
