I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how people say the universe is so perfect, it must have been created. Perhaps these are only my thoughts , but here we go…

The Big Bang Theory, which I believe is the main non-Creationist (and even some Creationists believe it) theory for how the universe began, states that the universe started as a singularity–for any of you who might not know, a singularity is a point where gravity and density are infinite, where the normal laws of physics don’t apply. Now, if this was what happened, then when the expansion began, any set of physical laws could have been created, randomly picked and such. Following this logic, why do we assume that our universe is the only one in which life such as ours could exist?

There are constants within our universe which, if they were modified only a tiny bit, would prevent stars from forming, or life from forming, or whatever. That’s what scientists say, but why must we assume that a completely different universe, with different laws of physics, would be affected so much by having those constants set at a different value? Perhaps there’s a universe somewhere where scientists are saying that if the cosmological constants were set to the values they have in *our* universe, life couldn’t exist, or stars couldn’t form, etc.

We are bound to imagining things as they are inside our universe. We can’t predict what other randomly created universes might be like, because they’re completely outside any one’s experience, assuming that one is from our universe.

Another way to think of it is to imagine your life as a series of occurrences that might have been different. For my life, for example, I would never have been born if my dad hadn’t made a phone call through the operator and met my mom (who was the operator). He wouldn’t have been in America to make that call if he hadn’t moved here from England, and he might not have moved here if his dad hadn’t died in 1983 (or maybe it was 1982?). Now, could I validly sit here and say that if those events had been different, then my dad would definitely never have had another son? Of course not. Said son might have been completely different than me, but he’d still be there, and he might have even started thinking about what it would have been like if events had been different in Dad’s life. This method isn’t the best, since it doesn’t rival the complexity of the universe, but it still serves to illustrate my point.

I just thought I’d throw that into the mix, whether I worded it well enough for it to make sense or not. Have fun responding.By the way that was just a hypothetical situation ,my dad always lived here in the United States.
