THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE

there are at least eight different ways of looking at the anthropic principle 1 life has fine-tuned itself into the universe because the way the universe is, is also the closest reality can come to the straight line ( life in its entirety brought the universe into being for the sole purpose of increasing the number of beings who can become immortal and experience the stupefying wonder that is straight line action ) 2 the universe is the only reality that complies with the basic characteristic that any reality must be... endless ( life in its entirety brought the universe into being for the sole purpose of increasing the number of beings who can become immortal and experience the stupefying wonder that is straight line action ) 3 the universe is fine-tuned for life ( a super intelligence designed the universe ) 4 the theory of the permutations of possibilities ( the universe is but one of an infinity of universes... a.k.a. the multiverse ) 5 a combination of the above 6 a combination of the above and something else 7 purely chance 8 none of the above
