Well its only two things, accidental or deliberate, we can narrow that down, lol.
Maybe it doesn't even matter, all of that stuff is out of human comprehension anyway.
Metapsychics isn't common sense to a living organism and we have only known about this stuff for a short time really... Maybe, somehow its both deliberate and accidental, conscious and unconscious,, meaning and no meaning 🤷♀️

@Carazaa maybe the universe is unconscious but its actually far more likely that it is conscious because reality is consciousness.
Is the creator or the universe a separate entity from us? Are we all a part of the creator/universe? All tiny little parts of the same giant eternal consciousness?
I have no idea, do you? Haha

@MushroomFaerie
When you say conscious universe what do you mean by consciousness?

@Carazaa self aware the way you and I are, able to think and make conscious decisions lol

@MushroomFaerie I'm speaking at high level here - from the ideas of physicists, not my imagination. There are things that aren't explainable at this point through our science -
1. MATHEMATICS: was not created by the beginnings of the universe, which developed within mathematical laws. Mathematics was discovered, not invented in the broader sense (our maths is a description of what is). It appears to be universally true. And the universe only uses a very small portion of possible mathematics.
2. CONSCIOUSNESS: We're struggling to understand it within science. Sir Roger Penrose, for instance says it's 'Whatever consciousness is, it's not a computation, not a physical process.'
I find it odd that some people define humans according to physical size or length of life. On that scale we are insignificant.
But change the scale to complexity. The human mind is the most complex known structure in the universe. On that scale, a non-conscious supernova, with no awareness or ability to choose, is just stuff bouncing around like part of an endless pinball machine from the beginning of the universe. Today I can decide to type this sentence or go outside instead.

@MushroomFaerie I would agree with that!

@Abstraction Math was discovered not invented? Interesting! The universe was orderly and mathematical, before humans existed right? How then did it get organized?
We are insignificant and small in this universe, Most things are out of our control yet I believe there is an escape route but only if we open the door when God knocks! Then we can start walking on the straight and narrow that leads to life eternal!
