The size of the universe is necessary, it's not an accident or chance.Necessary for us (maybe, but why?), but of course we aren't necessary ourselves. More of an accessory, really..lol.
Quote:Belief that life self-starts requires a kind of blind-faith in physics."Life" doesn't "self start"..there is no "self" to start with before life.
Quote: I hold to this blind faith idea because we don't have to know the "how" to observe that life began on this planet at exactly the right time 3 billion years ago.Exactly the right time for what? Further, exactly the right time for what kind of life?
Quote:It didn't take 6 billion years for life to begin, it didn't even take 6 million years - as soon as the conditions for life were right it began, that can only mean that there is a reliable mechanism that allows for life to self-start.What conditions? What about those conditions was right? By what metrics? For what kind of life? How reliable is this mechanism if life only appears to have sprung up this once? How can something self-start without any "self" to begin with?
