There was something on one of the science shows about the chain of events needed to allow life to exist on earth.
If every link in the chain of events were a grain of sand, and you laid them side by side from here (In Scotland, I think) to the equator, and that chain was needed to allow man to exist, then you removed one of those grains, the earth becomes a dead rock.
That sounds a lot like infinity to me. I've been a nitwit in life about so many things. Perhaps I am about this, too. There's a source or intelligence out there that can or has made sense of it all. I will aspire to understand or approach that until I'm no longer sentient. Along the way I would still like to comprehend the universe that is my home. It's pretty big.
there is an argument that goes like this: of course we are here to see the one in a 10000000000000000000000000000000 chance because, basically, we’re here.
just like if you saw the Jets win at a game, you saw it because you were there when it happened. Didn’t happen any other day or year or century or minute.
you happened to be there to see it.
so we happened to be born into the one planet at the right time where all the grains existed in a chain.
not my argument, just one that is out there.
and i’m quite certain you’re a very smart person.
