I have no idea where that substrate, or whatever, came from, or 'who' created it.

I wasn't trying to answer that.

I'm aware that my comment merely added an additional layer, between us and "the creator"/creation, (however you define that).

My point was more, that I don't believe our universe is unique, as in "alone". But rather that it is just one of many.

That some "God", or event, didn't create a single universe, perfect for (human) life. That's way too antropocentric for me.

Instead I believe that they are plentiful, and by chance one of them happened to be suitable for life as we know it.

We are not here because a universe _was created for us_.

We are here because a universe _could produce us_.




I like the thought experiment of exploring the entire universe with advanced space travel and finding no other life (statistically a zero chance if the universe isn’t anthropocentric).

But of course it’s unfortunately impossible to know due to space time limits.
