Confronting Friends and Family
#34
RE: Confronting Friends and Family
Quote: My argument isn't that you can't create life with a different set of rules, my argument is that this universe is designed specifically for us, if it wasn't then life may exist, but we would expect the universe to be more hostile to it than ours is to us. Ours is fundamentally hospitable to life.

To life as we know it. It might be highly inhospitable to different forms of life. And not all the universe is hospitable to life: the inner regions of the Milky Way might not be as hospitable as its outer regions.

A different universe could be even more hospitable to life (for example, it could produce stars whose life circle leads to the production of even more carbon, or a different gravitation pull could create more Earth-like planets).

Finally, you're once again assuming that the universe is specifically made for us. The truth is that we're specifically made for this universe.
