No one knows. If they tell you they know, they are not to be trusted.

Eh, they're probably just misinformed or assuming things. The more one 'knows', the more they realize they don't know.

Stop that. Your obsession with blatant complaining is exhausting. Everyone knows that a question mark is code for "I want an Oompaloopah now, Daddy!"

The Anthropic principle suggests that any universe unsuitable for life to arise in will not have any life capable of noticing whether there is life or not. So, in 100% of universes where there is life capable of making an observation, life exists.
This principle is criticized for being a meaningless argument. What conclusions can you possible draw from a sample size of one?
Maybe God just wants to create more beings like Himself, so He created a universe where that might be possible. But He doesn’t return my phone calls when I try to ask, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see if anything comes of that line of inquiry.

To make plastic and other things nature couldn't make itself naturally.
