It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.

The universe doesn't allow perfection.

We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them

Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist. Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those universes that are compatible with our existence. Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense the lords of creation.

One can see from space how the human race has changed the Earth. Nearly all of the available land has been cleared of forest and is now used for agriculture or urban development. The polar icecaps are shrinking and the desert areas are increasing. At night, the Earth is no longer dark, but large areas are lit up. All of this is evidence that human exploitation of the planet is reaching a critical limit. But human demands and expectations are ever-increasing. We cannot continue to pollute the atmosphere, poison the ocean and exhaust the land. There isn't any more available.

Many people find the universe confusing - it's not.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
