The universe is not only “specifically taylored for life” -
the earth itself, its moon, its atmosphere, and all the rules of the universe, are taylored such that we humans can explore and discover those rules.
Yep. Obviously, it’s is not the chemicals in our brain that perceive the universe, it is something else. And it is that something else that most scientists are deathly afraid to look at—GGG
The argument turns on starting points. By beginning with a given, that man exists, all of the necessities resulting in that given become consequential, not subsequential.
Betty boop, on another thread, is discussing the problem of time relative to quantum mechanics and etc. If time can be viewed in reverse with the present as the cause of earlier events the question of necessity for the existence of life is answered.
I have long felt (intuited) that the present does not just inform the past, the present determines the past. This is not so far fetched if we imagine that the universe is in its contracting phase and is running in reverse.
This line of reasoning is in keeping with the omniscience of God who must view all time in an instant. Whether creation is run forward, backward or as a jumble is incosequential since it all comes down to the magnificent surdity of now. This is all we know. Everything else is conjecture.
