It's not entirely drivel: if some of the quark masses were a bit higher, no stable atoms would form and everything would be a kind of uniform radiation bath with hydrogen or neutrons in it, and nothing beyond that. It would not be a universe with enough structure for a mind to emerge, or Darwinian evolution to take place.

I wouldn't bother. Minimalist has no clue what emergent complexity is as evidenced by his "philosophical drivel" statement.
Doesn't matter either way. Esquilax's rebuttal is more fundamental.
