The finely tuned universe leads to a deduction that higher consciousness exists

The expansion of the universe and compression of matter is so finely tuned that if the ratio were even slightly different, galaxies would not have formed. The ratio of the size of a proton compared to an electron is another such example of a constant of nature being precise for the universe to work in a sensible way. Scientists have a tendency to pass these precise ratios as chance happenings – or to ignore them completely. The laws of physics are such that when matter compresses itself enough, fusion occurs, creating massive amounts of energy as well as new forms of matter. Some of the energy given off is used by life to create more life. The fusion process within a star is so finely tuned that the creation of carbon is considered a fluke of nature. The energy level of carbon is so precise, that three high energy helium nucleus can fuse together to form the carbon nucleus. In a star, most of the carbon disintegrates again into smaller components, but just enough stays intact. Some of the remaining carbon will then go onto to create other heavier elements. Several other flukes are described at the following link including a discussion on both sides of this debate. http://en.wikipedia.org... The laws of chemistry are structured such that atoms can form chains in different way with vastly different properties, providing a rich environment for life to exist. The argument is not just about constants or ratios but also structures that are convenient used by life as building blocks and places to live. The universe is structured so that DNA can form which allows a progressive building system for living beings through the process of evolution. It is easy to see life evolving from simplicity, but it always occurs within the framework of a universe containing structures that allow it. Modern science tells us that in some cases, energy has arranged it self into progressively more complex systems over time. As these new energies interact with their environment, the end result is new stories being created which also increase in complexity. We define the most complex known to us as human life. The universe provides a framework to carry out these stories with unknown mysteries and challenges always seemingly just ahead. Science has provided mankind with a way to pierce the veil of mystery but even after hundreds of years, many fundamental questions remain unsolved. Because science cannot prove or disprove an intelligent creator, this also can be seen as another way the universe is fine tuned. Attempts at explaining the fine tuning of nature have led to complicated systems such as string theory to replace the standard model. One of the best string theory models (M-theory) has 11 dimensions instead of our 3 + time. The theory is so complex that most humans cannot hope to grasp it. One interesting outcome of these mathematical adventures is scientists say there is potential for other life forms to exist in parallel with our own dimension. This is what religion has been saying for thousands of years! An important tools when critically analysing a system is to consider the whole, not just the parts. Any of the parts (or flukes of nature) can be easily brushed aside but when considered in totality, a logical conclusion is there is some kind of consciousness behind the structures of nature.
