The popular premise is that the universe started from nothing, inexistence, then whatever then blam existence with properties x and y.
We know existence exists, even if we were in a matrix simulated universe, it doesnt matter, we know something exists.
But how can absolute inexistence become something? Imo either "utter inexitence" is a concept that never existed, or the closest you could get to inexistance (best case scenario) is that inexistance would be an alternate state of existence (water vs ice, light vs shadow, 0 vs 1-1, etc). And if thats the case, utter inexistence still doesnt exist because it would only be a facet of existence.
Does anyone else see it that way?
If there are alternate scenarios, all those that start off with inexitence, have no one in them wondering about existence.
Then from the point where you take existence as a given, you turn to the properties of existence. We can observe that the universe as it is now has a set of specific properties that do not appear to be particularily unavoidable in the sense that there could be slightly different properties, it appears random to me that the properties are what they are.
For a long time, no one in our universe knew there even was a universe. If the properties were such that more complex structures were not possible, the universe would have existed but there would not be anyone wondering about it. Of all possible properties, those that make something possible will have something, and of those those who's properties make intelliengent life possible, will have at some point in time(if a billion years) someone wondering about exitence and thinking how lucky they are that the properties happen to support intelligent life.
So either there's one reality, just one, and were really lucky that all fits by a miracle, or theres multiple realities and were lucky but now theres no miracle that one of the realities has such parameters that make intelligent life possible(at some point in time and in specific locations), that is now a given and we just happen to be in that situation.
