Stephen Hawking said that the universe and laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us because if any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it could not exist. He is correct poetically, but if we were to take his words literally, he seems to miss something. This world is not designed for us, but we are designed for this world for the world existed before us. He missed the fundamental point that we came out of this world, not into this world. It is not like us, the bodies and minds, existed before the creation of the world, so that the god has designed this world for our specific requirements. This world is not a party hall to be organized or planned. This world is a random happening, so we are.
We just randomly exist. We are the products of randomness, meaningless, and purposeless. We came out of this world through evolution, so it is obvious that it supports our survival perfectly. We are, as the world is. But looking from this human mind, it seems that this world is perfectly designed for us, which would not be incorrect to say poetically and symbolically. But remember that we are not outsiders that came into this world, but we are the world itself.
We had dinosaurs and mammoths and so on, which were as the world was earlier. Now we also have bacteria capable of digesting the plastic pollutants, which is, they are as the world is now. The perishing of dinosaurs and so on evidently supports that the world is not perfect for everyone as the world is in constant movement, the time is constantly moving. Time is nothing but the movement of energy, which causes growth and change. So those incapable of adapting perish.
This world, as it exists, is shaped by the fundamental laws of physics—the forces and constants that govern the movement of energy and matter. The stability of gravity, the precision of atomic interactions, the vast yet delicate balance of cosmic processes—these are not conditions crafted for us but the very framework within which everything, including us, arises. These physical laws do not dictate life; they simply create the conditions where life can emerge and evolve. Our perception that this universe feels “just right” for us is not a sign of its intentional design, but a reflection of the fact that we are its natural outcome. Just as water takes the shape of its container, life adapts to the constraints and possibilities of the world it arises from. Physics, in its apparent perfection, simply supports the randomness of existence by setting the stage for it to play out endlessly and unpredictably.
