10. If only one property of our Universe, out of many properties, were just changed by a very little

we wouldn't be here, nor would there be anything in the Universe as interesting as us. This does need an explanation - shit happens doesn't cut it.

Over time, the more we learn the larger our Universe has gotten. We now know that our planet isn't the only one and our galaxy isn't the only one.

Once we learn nature can create something we have good reason to believe nature can create many of the same something. That is why science works. There is order in nature. Natural processes aren't just limited to one time.

Our large Universe gave nature many attempts to create life in our Universe (many lottery tickets). Still we need an explanation on how our Universe can create life. There is no reason to limit universes to one, and there are multiple reasons to believe there shouldn't be only one.

"Fine-tuning" is an awfully antrophocentric point-of-view. DetlefK Mar 2016 #5

If you just take some random properties to make a universe cpwm17 Mar 2016 #6

But how do we know whether the universe's parameters are random? DetlefK Mar 2016 #7

Essentially your are saying that our Universe might be fine tuned cpwm17 Mar 2016 #8

I said nothing about life or the parameters serving to some higher end. DetlefK Mar 2016 #9

What's so bad about "shit happens?" DetlefK Mar 2016 #11

Many top scientist do believe that our "fine-tuned" Universe does need an explanation cpwm17 Mar 2016 #12

The Multiverse perhaps is just a brute fact of nature. cpwm17 Mar 2016 #14

That logic doesn't work in this situation. cpwm17 Mar 2016 #16
