Like I don't post enough crap like that. Anyway, consider the following, just consider it without drawing any conclusion.
I've always believed that given the unimaginable vastness of creation, and the sheer numbers involved, that we live in a universe not only full of life, but with many intelligent and self aware life forms scattered throughout the stars.
However, it has occured to me that maybe, and I just mean a speculative "maybe," that it takes an entire universe to generate the necessary amount of probability for something like us to exist in the first place. All things considered, why should we exist at all? The odds on something like us randomly coming into existence are so vastly stacked against it, that an entire universe of possibilities has to exist for there to be even ONE such thing as a self aware, intelligent lifeform.
I really don't think this is true, but it is something to think about.
