Try to remember that *any* world that produced us, you and I and living
and thinking beings generally would have to have hit that lottery. That
we are talking about it shows that life developed (by whatever means).
And, if we define the *possible* universes as ones in which someone
develops that can look around and say, "Hey, this is a universe!" than
suddenly the odds on life developing are dramaticly in our favor.
