Do we exist by chance? If not, why do we exist?

Hi, tonyrey!

Do you think that we exist by chance? I don't, because I don't see how so much order could come about randomly by chance and/or chaos. I really can't go much deeper than that because of the known and unknowns to the speculation regarding the question concerning whether we exist by chance or not.

What do you think?

Thanks!

The Chance hypothesis is the most absurd explanation of life that has ever been proposed. It maintains that mind, purpose and value have emerged from that which is mindless, purposeless and valueless! If reason is derived from irrational forces every conclusion we reach is suspect...

So, why did you include it as part of the two questions that you asked, please?

Thanks!

I included it because there are people who do believe we exist by chance - and it gives them the opportunity to explain why...

Okay, thanks!

A nice distinction :)

The negative aspects of life should be outweighed by the positive...
