I do not present this info as a statement of fact, just a theory. I have only read about this theory, not studied it directly.
Theoretical physicist Lee Smolin, in his book The Life of the Cosmos presents the idea that the universe is perfectly fine-tuned for the creation of black holes, and so the universe does not exist to produce life, but to destroy it. Look at the facts: the vacuum of space and the radiation that comes from the quadrillions of stars out there will destroy any life that exists unless that life gets some sort of protection, like Earth's magnetic field.
All stars do is exist for billions of years, then convert to black holes. There are trillions of black holes out there. If the universe was designed, it was not made to create life, just destroy it, so therefore the Christian God can't possibly have designed this universe, if any god did at all. God would have no use for quarks, neutrinos, muons or kaons unless he was making a universe designed to make black holes. Atheism predicts exactly the universe we observe, since God would have no use of complex subatomic particles, deadly to our existence, to create life. Our world is just destined to be destroyed. Kind of depressing, but it shows that creating life is not the purpose of the universe.
If the universe could easily support life, that would be the evidence of a creator. But it doesn't. It only exists to create black holes. And what do black holes do? Theoretically, they reach a certain point and erupt, producing their own Big Bangs. Every black hole in existence could grow until it became its own universe, each one different from the other. That's what caused the Big Bang: the explosion of a black hole. So, theoretically, there could be trillions of universes out there, with trillions more universes growing in them. Will all black holes become universes? I don't know. But it's a theory that some should. Reproduction seems to be the ultimate goal of existence, whether living or not.
This theory doesn't explain when everything got started, but it's the best-sounding theory I've ever heard as to why the universe is the way it is. It does not support the theory that a supreme being designed the universe to create life, with life being a rare exception, not the rule. All that happens out there is the production of more and more uniquely-designed black holes that grow until they explode, then spread new universes. Sounds like a weed-patch.
Can it be proved? Of course not. But it makes more sense than religions saying the creator of the universe was trying to spread life. It's just a hypothesis--but so is Christianity.
Remember, I haven't read the book, so maybe I'm wrong about it's content, but I think I'm close.
