We are smart, well sort of, and we have nothing the universe doesn't have more of. That's is more rational than saying we have something more than the universe has.
Does the universe have introspection?
Its not that I ask "why was it born?", its more of asking what are some reasonable explanations as to how it got here. Given that everything is connected to everything else the question of the universe being life or non life leans heavily on the side of 'life". The interactions that we see around us are better described as "alive" than any other notion I know. "evolution" is an example. So "born" fits, for now.
"introspection", that is an information processing question. Does the universe have more, less, or equal information processing capabilities when compared to humans? Having less than or equal to humans just does not match observation.
So theist are 1/2 correct IMO. They have the omni trait completely wrong, among other, but why people today follow best guesses from 2000 years ago in this matter is beyond me. It does give me a data point tho as to what we are. Just a smart ape with some cleaver programming. just a protein with another layer of complexity.
