But, as a life scientist of 47 years’ practice, I see strong (a gross understatement) evidence that life forms adapt to the universe, or die, and that the universe did not or does not adapt to us.

A Man Said to the Universe

A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

-- Stephen Crane

[Rudder]

"However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation."

And our sense of purpose confers some advantage over the indifferent universe.
