The nature's jigsaw.

'Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge' Thomas Edison

Though the universe and the world apparently looks like a cocktail of randomness and chaos, we find within nature following certain well defined laws. Were these laws deliberately put in so that life form can exist on earth?

What would have happened if these laws were slightly different? If gravity was a tad less or more, certainly we would have not survived to read this. So apparently it seems that creating the heavenly bodies and a complex life form was part of a plan. Even the size of Jupiter is important for the uninterrupted evolution of life on earth as it has deflected so many comets and meteors which otherwise would have bombarded earth. This distance from sun, the rotation and revolution of earth and earths inclination of 23.44 degrees towards the sun are all coincidental for the evolution of life.

Is it actually a coincidence?

It is hard to understand nature's secrets but easy to appreciate it. Philosophers like Aristotle and Descartes, to early mathematicians like Aryabhatta and Bhaskaracharya, and Physicists like Newton and Einstein all have studied lifelong to unravel these mysteries. Philosophy religion and theology have provided some answers as per their understanding of these mysteries and the purpose of all things. But the mysteries have still not been fully understood. On one hand there is complete randomness on the other hand there is complete precision. The microscopic world functions in a certain way and the macroscopic world in a different way. A million machine parts of the universe are functioning in a particular way to create the product of life.

Isn't it fascinating to think that so many random and apparently unrelated things things work in such clock work precision for so long time so that the initial water was created leading to the initial microbes. And the amazing journey from those single celled microbes to 37 trillion celled human body.

Who why when what where how all these questions crawl in my mind when I think of it.

What do you think?

This is probably no coincidence, but the result of the big bang. After the big bang, large amounts of matter were hurled out and they started to act on themselves. The forces resulted in the evolution of galaxies, stars and planets. On at least one of the planets life developed. Probably on several, because there are very, very many planets.

On our planet, moreover, thinking creatures have developed. They very probably also exist or existed on other planets. All is a consequence of the Big Bang. I see it all like a film that was started and is running. We are aware of the film and think that we can influence the film, but this is probably a fallacy.

You are right in the generalised concept about Big Bang. But a lot more factors contributed to the actual conducive environment for life. Some of those I have mentioned. Though earth is in the Goldilocks zone but other factors are also responsible for life on earth. Though I believe that universe is so large that such co incidence can happen on other planets also. The probability is there.

The fact that the earth is in the Goldilocks Zone (and other factors) is also the result of the Big Bang. Also the fact that I am writing here and what I am writing is the result of this.

You are right. A million permutations and combinations have worked in the creation of life which is mind blowing.

I'm leaning more and more towards determinism.

It's true, too many random things have to work at precise time in such an extended time frame. Coincidence or a plan. that's a million dollars question.

I think there's no reason to know everything, to understand everything. There are questions which will never be answered, things we should rest and there are answers which will change if time or the one looking for it changes. 👍🏻💕

Both types of people will be there, some just looking in amazement and some looking for answers. There is no right or wrong in it.
