Natural selection ensures that things settle into a stable pattern. And the 'Anthropic Principle', which claims that since Earth is so uniquely suited to human life it must have been by design since no other known planets are....actually suggests the opposite. With the universe at about 100 billion billion planets it is statistically probable that one of those would be in the 'Goldilocks Zone' (hospitable to life) throughout its entire orbit....

But as you see order take place not only of the earth, but in daily life, it makes great sense that there is some higher being that is in charge.

If it is indeed by design, albeit anthropic, what determied the design?

How do we know what design is?

Design implies intent, does it not?

Blessings...
