Physics may well provide for that, whether life is, or no. And if it does require such life, I find it hard to conceive circumstances which would render our entire Universe unable to generate intelligent life.... The pandeistic model supposes that our Creator had a reason for creating, a gap in its knowledge which could only be filled through the experience of existing as our sort of possibly-life-generating Universe and all the complexity which arises within it. If life is useful to that end, it would be logical to presume our Creator set forth a Universe with characteristics yielding the absolute maximum probability of generating such life.... And so it would seem some scientists (like Paul Davies and Frank Tipler) have concluded our Universe to be uncannily fortuitously aligned!! And similarly, it would be highly probable that such a designer would minimize elements of the design which might render our Universe as a whole hostile to life.<br /><br />An entity capable of planning and then becoming our Universe entire ought to be credited with being capable of making our Universe one which is highly likely to produce outcomes which are sufficiently useful to it to allow it to ultimately outlive its plan; ie if our Creator became our Universe to experience existence as experienced by life within such a Universe, it is highly likely that the design of our Universe would succeed in generating what such a Creator sought to experience.Knujehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106711599558787764noreply@blogger.com
