I have questions (some in the form of comments). These are out of curiosity, mind you, not an accusation that I think you're wrong.
In this scenario, there are 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 failed universes floating out there.
No no... I'm saying that's how many planets there are in the universe... the likelihood that one of them is exactly like our Earth and has the same history of our earth is 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Super duper slim odds, but non-zero. And here we are.
There are probably also several universes where things kind of worked out, but perhaps a different result. In the two previous points, where and how do these universes coexist?
No clue, never been in my thoughts. Although "where" didn't exist until the big bang. There was no up, down, left, right nor time before that happened. Where was all that stuff?... well, It wasn't.
The amount of time for these things to occur is mind boggling. Forget our universe being billions of years old. These other universes are billions to the billionth power of years old.
You start to get the sense that the term infinity should start to be used (you should get that
)
Infinity starts to open a real strange can of worms.
Yes. Infinity is odd. Not sure where you're going with this, but calculations get whacky when you consider infinity.
There's a problem with your scenario. There's no intention to the slapping of the keyboard. Sure, once in a quintillion slaps you may get a word or sentence. But life? Not sure if you were intentionally leaving that part out, but it is significant.
I see no need for intention. Some of the slaps got "explode", one of the slaps got "pqhgf41q9". How remarkable that the slap created pqhgf41q9!!!
Using a different analogy that's closer to the real thing: I set off a quintillion bottle rockets filled with all the ingredients of the universe. Still can't see how one of those explosions turns into a mini universe that sustains itself. What was introduced in the quintillionth explosion that wasn't there before? It wouldn't be coincidence, it would be intentional.
I do not see it the same way, and that's fine. I see no reason to have intention. I see no reason to suggest there were other "big bangs". Perhaps in alternative dimensions in alternative universes, but That's beyond my level of understanding and thinking. This idea that there undoubtedly HAS to be intention behind it is just not something that registers in my brain. I'm not saying that there, without a doubt, wasn't any intention behind it. I'm just not convinced.
As a fellow scientist, you should get that. You do a bunch of experiments and get the same, expected, predicted results. You do another, and you get a different result you don't expect. Not slightly off, but way off. You mix two hydrogens and an oxygen and you get a dog. Would you say that the final test was just an anomaly, or would you think something was introduced in that final test that wasn't there in the first set of tests?
I, again, have no idea what you're getting at here. If you mix two hydrogens and an oxygen and get a dog, let me know. I'd like to see it. Obviously in science there's a need to repeat your experiments and if something is way off you go and figure it out, but that's small scale stuff. The universe and the laws that sustain our place in time and space are far bigger than my little lab experiments.
In my opinion things are they way they are because that's the way they are. Designed that way? I'm not closed off to the idea of it, but I'm certainly not in the absolute of yes... it has to be designed, and I'm okay with the idea of I don't know and will never know. I'm at peace with it and will enjoy my time while I have it.
