What is its surprising, large-scale structure? Why does it have two opposing properties? How will it evolve? Does it go on forever? Will it eventually die like everything in it? Is it designed around innumerable formulas? Could it be a computer simulation? What might its ultimate goal be? How could it have 30 incredibly finely-tuned conditions that are infinitely beyond chance for it to exist? Could there be other universes? What allows us to see to the beginning of time? Do we exist at a special time in its evolution?Could a god have created the universe? How did religion evolve? Is there an afterlife?
