I think we fundamentally disagree on nature vs. universe.
What you ascribe to universe, I ascribe to nature, as seen on Earth and, as far as we know, nowhere else in the universe.
The universe doesn't evolve. The universe doesn't create sophisticated life. It just is, and changes, and moves toward entropy. Nature is just a very small and very young system within that, by pure chance or other unknown factors, has managed to move a little upstream.
- ETH_start 4y agoMy understanding is that entropy drives both the emergence and progression of evolution, and evolution drives the expansion of life, making a universe teeming with life inevitable, simply by consequence of the laws of physics and the physical properties of our universe. There is good indication that evolution began long before the Earth, and the classical life on it, emerged: https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/04/15/113741/moores-law-and-the-origin-of-life/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/04/15/113741/moores-la...
