We know we are the goldilocks planet, but others that are said to be in the 'zone' may be under other conditions that make habitability impossible:

Comment: The very unusual attributes of the Earth have been covered. We are a rocky planet, with a molten core, floating continents with subduction zones, a protective magnetic field, a thick atmosphere, a single large moon which stabilizes our tilt, creating tides and seasons. The list fills at least three books I know of. Even our solar system is highly unusual compared to the ones currently discovered. But we can only know what is present in a small corner of our galaxy, two thirds of the way out on the second spiral arm. Of course other galaxies could have Earths, and God could be in charge of all of it.

Looking back on this entry, it surely looks like God made the Earth the way it is. No other attributes for a planet could support carbon-based life.
