No matter how much discoveries in sub-atomic physics point to non-temporal origins, anything suggesting or even logically demanding intelligent design will result in the heretical researcher being shunned, defunded and professionally destroyed Case in point:
"A vast number of universes may exist, with many different values of the amount of dark energy. Our particular universe is one of the universes with a small value, permitting the emergence of life. We are here, so our universe must be such a universe. We are an accident. From the cosmic lottery hat containing zillions of universes, we happened to draw a universe that allowed life. But then again, if we had not drawn such a ticket, we would not be here to ponder the odds."

However, two theories in physics, eternal inflation and string theory, now suggest that the same fundamental principles from which the laws of nature derive may lead to many different self-consistent universes, with many different properties Notice how self-consistency is taken as granted, so that the author can make the case that everything is an accident. Self-consistency would imply that conservation laws and symmetry would apply in the multitude of Universes, an awesome concept, which would make the conclusion that "it's all an accident" an impossible one to make.
