The Existence of Intelligent Life

The existence of intelligent life Bertrand Russell wrote as follows. "There are two possibilities - perhaps we are lonely - probably we do not have it - both are equally awful (Jakosky 1), when it leads to another problem - an intellectual life in the universe - Finding other clever civilizations in the interstellar space has a great influence on every aspect of our existence.Of course it means that we can not find such a civilization because of our own existence We will force us to study the purpose.

Ambiguity in this discussion, version emphasizes neither complexity nor function, but rather emphasizes the fact that natural law is compatible with the existence of life or the existence of intellectual life. The fact that there are living creatures (and some smart creatures) is without doubt that the basic law is compatible with the existence of life whatever they are. If it turns out that almost all legitimate collections are compatible with the appearance of life, it is not noticeable. But obviously this is not the case. We must emphasize that you can assert that you do not have expertise here. I can not understand the less discussion that was offered at this score. However, theologians sometimes argue that the emergence of intellectual life becomes impossible if the constants that appear in the fundamental law of nature are different.

Robin Collins proposed three design theories. It attracts the existence of intellectual life and the fine tuning it depends on, the beauty attracting the laws of physics, and the existence of clarity attracting the universe. It is not completely clear what the conclusion of these arguments is. Sometimes Collins looks like discussing theology - the assumption that omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect person creates our universe. At other times, he seems to be discussing a less specific hypothesis, a brief explanation of a transcendental intellectual existence (some kind) designing our universe. We call this second hypothesis "premise of general design". In his opening case, both of these assumptions were mentioned many times.
