Thought on Creation
Hi guys,
Here is an interesting idea I came across: Darwin's theory of evolution explains why animals appear 'designed' for a purpose, but what about the nature of our universe? Why is it that our universe appears as if it was designed to allow life to develop? Because even a slight tweaking of the physics of our universe would make it impossible for life to develop. Perhaps then there is still a vital role for God in the creation of our world? Let me know what you think, Barryprays For homework help and visit http://homeworkhelp.madpage.com

No, it's because if it wasn't, there wouldn't be any life around to ponder the question.

"Slight tweaking" doesn't matter --what might have been is irrevelant. If things were different, either we would be different and still find the universe perfectly fine, or we wouldn't be here at all to wonder about it. Our universe was one that allowed life to develop. We are that life that developed within the parameters of this universe (one of them, specifically the one posing the questions today). Therefore, within these parameters, we are what we are. The universe "appears" just right for us because we can imagine it being not right. It "appears designed for us" because we are designed within and by its parameters.

Let me give you an analogy. Consider our solar system. Every planet in it is orbiting at exactly the right speed given its mass and its distance from the sun. If they were moving slightly faster they would be hurled out into the universe, if they were going slightly slower they would be pulled into the sun. Stop and think about that for a moment. Isn’t it amazing that all these planets are going the perfect speed?
No, actually it isn’t amazing at all. Think about it again. If they weren’t going the right speed they just wouldn’t be there. During the formation of our solar system they were likely hundred of object that were moving too fast or too slow. And because of that they are gone. All that we have left are the ones that were moving at the correct rate. It is a kind of natural sorting mechanism. It involves no amazing coincidences and no pre planning. In some respects the universe itself may be like that. If some things were different, it just wouldn’t be here, or at least we wouldn’t be here. The “fine tuning” of the universe is only amazing if you already assume that the universe was intended to be the way that it is. But you cannot just assume that which you are attempting to prove.

Well if it wasn't for a comet crashing into the right tide pool we wouldn't be here at all (assuming you accept the theory of evolution). And if a chunk of Mars didn't break off to form our moon it could've had enough mass to have a deicent atmosphere and possibly have life. Then there would've differnt beings the next rock over pondering all of this instead. All of sudden life doesn't seem so incredible, we're just lucky.

The universe is hostile towards life.
It never happens by accident, each is a carefully planned experiment. The angels do this work, not God.
