My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.

You are exporting disorder [in the form of heat into the Universe] now as you read this book. You are hastening the demise of everything that exists, bringing forward by your very existence the arrival of time known as the heat death, when all stars have died, all black holes have evaporated away and the entirety of creation is a uniform bath of photons incapable of storing a single bit of information about the glorious adolescence of our wonderful Universe.

Each being in the universe yearns for the free energy necessary for survival and development. Each existence resists extinction. The consequent history of violence in the universe is as inevitable as the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun.

...things are the way they are in our universe because if they weren't, we wouldn't be here to notice.

We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself.

How can a speck of a universe be physically identical to the great expanse we view in the heavens above?
