Question: Why is the univese so amazing and organised that life can exist?

That’s a great big question! There is no real ‘reason’ that the universe is so amazing and organised, but you’re right that it is! I think one of the things that is easy to forget is how long it took us to get to this point. Yes we are super complicated and organised and amazing buut it took thousands of millions of years to happen – that’s a seriously long time! So things that seem really really unlikely to happen by chance do actually happen. Because if you leave molecules lying around for enough time, the chances are that life will eventually exist.
