Is Our Existence Just Luck Or Are We Meant To Be? 🌇
So far, we have learnt that the universe is an ever-growing expanse of space.The Universe stretches for billions and possibly trillions of light-years. To put that into perspective, one light year is 5.9 trillion miles; that is massive by itself, but the Universe is billions of light-years wide.
Nonetheless, for life to thrive and evolve, the circumstances had to be very precise. I am going to be questioning our existence and the existence of the Universe itself and whether we are perfectly measured mistakes or not.
The Accuracy of Many Factors
There are so many factors that had to be perfect for the Universe to be created. I am starting to wonder how all those factors aligned and the probability of all the factors being so precise. Let's take one factor, for example, gravity.
The gravitational constant had to be precise for the Universe to work. If it were a tiny bit too strong, the Universe would have collapsed, but if it were not strong enough, some galaxies would expand so fast that it would not be able to allow for life.
Gravity is one of the most looked at forces in our society, yet it is pivotal to our existence. Not only that, it is only one of the thousands of looked over elements that had to be exactly as they are for the Universe to expand and to sustain life forms.
My Thoughts
I find it very confusing about how probable it is for the Universe to grow without outside influence. There were so many factors that had to be accurate and if only one of them were off, life as we know it would not exist. If one factor was off, stars might not have formed and the basis of all life would have been killed off instantly.
With this in mind, some conjecture that a higher being was in control of this, God. Even this I am sceptical about as things like Evolution are proven theories, and I do not agree with some religious people who say the Earth was created less than ten thousand years ago, it does not seem right to me.
Life and The Laws It Follows
If we look at it from a different viewpoint, life is a self-organising system that does not need outside input to function. Every organism on Earth evolves to be more efficient and help itself survival. Even single-celled microorganisms like viruses and bacteria can use quorum sensing and pattern matching to organise and evolve as it grows.
Despite our lack of knowledge of the creation of the Universe, everyone has their preferred theories. Our generation will probably never know if we were a fluke or not, but who knows, technology is advancing so fast, researchers might find out how the Universe was created so perfectly.
You use a quote from Richard Bach, but many of his books talk about answers to your questions, and you don't bring that up in your posts. If you haven't read Richard Bach, I suggest more than just Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Micro-evolution has a lot of evidence to support it.
There is no evidence for macro-evolution.
Lets assume that we descended from apes. And scientists have worked out how long it takes for one mutation to happen, and then applying math to all the mutations that had to happen, well, mankind is older than the universe.
Not microbe to man, but ape to man.
And no evolutionary biologist has any evidence for any theories of how we got 23 pairs of chromosomes when all the other primates have 24.
As for the universe being the way it is, the school of scienctism through out aether theory long ago. To bad, because it explains how all these forces exist in perfect balance. Because space springs out of the aether, and all of the forces are in perfect harmony from it.
