> For chance being a tautology, we know for a fact that matter was created by chance, and life is made of matter, how could life NOT be made by chance, as it requires matter? How could we exclude chance? However complex the chemistry is to go from nonlife to life, all things that exist came from that big bang where the randomness of quantum fluctuations predominate. We may not know the mechanism, but it seems--difficult to make such a claim.-This seems like reasoning by regression. The quantum particles follow symmetry and probably supersymmetry. There are certain rules it seems, which result in quarks reaching certain combinations. And then when we get to considering the formation of living matter, we must deal with the available inorganic and simple organic molecules that are present at the time to combine, somehow, and create life. That is the proper level to look at 'chance' for life. This universe is perhaps a 'chance', but only if one considers a multiverse. Otherwise it looks quite special to me.
