I have been reading this forum for a while and I find it very useful for my school work. Please bear with my limited knowledge but I would like to submit an issue.
My understanding of the universe is that it is - "fit" for the emergence of intelligent life, otherwise I could not write this.
There seems to be a number of parameters that would need to have remained constant to allow evolution to occur, including; the speed of light, atomic charge ratios and how the sun burns its fuel.
I am sure there a lot more - I hope people can help me here.
I have not seen any science that clarifies why these values are constant or that the laws of physics are geared up to specifically support life.
When considering the origins of our universe; in light of the above, it seems to me, we have 2 key possibilities:
1. G-d created the Universe - i.e. G-d the creator who set up the universe so life could exist. This is not a creationist perspective but G--d created the seeds from which the universe evolved.
2. A myriad of universes (multiverse) all with different properties, with our universe having the right conditions for intelligent life (Martin Reiss). String theory alludes to more dimensions than we are aware of within the cosmos. I understand that these unique universes could possibly co-exist within these dimensions.
I am not sure how you would prove these 2 possibilities, so I would suggest that science can never disprove G-d just a science can never prove the origin of our universe within a multidemension cosmos.
Therefore the origin of the universe is not an issue that science can comprehensively address and we need a new, as yet undefined, discipline for such a profound subject.
If this is accepted what would be the paradigm of such a discipline and what perspectives would it need to include, etc scientific, deistic, philisophical or "other"
