Think about your answer.
Quote:Leonard Susskind talks about the apparent fine tuning. Leonard is a well known and very well respected in the physics world. He is considered one of the fathers of string theory. He agrees the universe appears to be fine tuned for our existence....I disagree and claim it is fine tuned for emergent complexity....but non the less we both agree it is fine tuned.We exist not because the universe is "fine tuned", but rather because if it were not the way it is, we would not be here as we are. So, out of the vast number (I would say "infinite", but it would seem that word 'freaks' too many people out.) of possible universes, in a "multiverse" scenario, how many are not like ours? How many support different life, similar life, no life?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
