“Intelligence,” OUT OF NOTHINGNESS!

[bennyboy]

It is rather hard to estimate what the probability is, but it is clearly very, very unlikely that those fine tunings, which allowed this Pyramid of complexities to arise, would be there as consequence of chance.

But I imagine you have no problem with the "probability" of an all-powerful being who exists outside of time and space and who one day suddenly decided to poof everything into existence, huh?

I don't think the universe could exist by chance, either. Chance requires a framework in which multiple events may happen. In other words, you need a framework in which many universes could be attempted, with some collapsing, some blowing up, and some resulting in life forms like us.

I don't think we have either evidence of such a framework, or a sound logical reason to believe that there is such. So as far as we can know, the universe is necessarily as it is, and could not have been otherwise. But where does this essential and inviolable nature come from?
