I don't think it is completely like Douglas Adams' puddle, because as I see it, the universe could easily be set up such that no intelligent life can arise in it anywhere. For me, for the Anthropuddle principle to really work as an argument, there would have to be many universes to choose from. Sure, once we know we exist , the probability is 1 that the universe supports life, but the question remains why the universe is like that.


I've always assumed stuff just has a way that it happens to be and when all the stuff that is interacts with all the other stuff that is, we get the universe.  The universe seems more Jackson Pollock than representational to me.

I think I'm not high enough to understand Smile Can you elaborate what you mean by stuff interacting with stuff?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
