I found this recently and just had to share it.

An excerpt from chapter 7 in Andronicos the Great's book 12-12-12

A few words on creation now follow.

There is no logical reason for the Universe to be as it is, nor the relative strengths of the forces such as gravity to be what they are. If gravity had been stronger - the universe would collapse and even worse would never have exploded into existence. If gravity had been weaker, the stars and planets would never have been formed or stuck together in the lumpy heavenly bodies that spin around the Cosmos. Why? Does random chance possess a sense of reason?

If the "strong" quantum force that holds tiny atoms together was weaker - the universe would be filled with only one element - Hydrogen. If it were stronger, the universe would probably be one big black humungous lump of matter. Why?

The magic number π (3.1426...) (or 3.1415962... I think is more like it) appears in weird and wonderful places throughout physics and mathematics. Why? Does random chance possess a Maths degree?

The number one followed by 40 zeros (10 to the power of 39) is roughly equal to the ratio of the electrostatic force between an electron and a proton to the gravitational force between them. It is also roughly the ratio of the radius of the known universe to the radius of the electron. 10 to the power of 39 x 10 to the power of 39 = 10 to the power of 78 which is approximately the number of particles estimated to be in the Universe! Why?

The moon, which is used extensively in religious calendars, fits exactly in front of the sun during an eclipse. Why? Does it not show the mischievous sense of humour of its designer? Who is saying "hello my little children, has the penny dropped down there yet?"

There are some pretty strange animals and plants which live on this planet. Pretty weird in fact. "Nature" appears very generous with its sense of humour to have "allowed" the gorilla, orangutang and chimp to come into existence. Why do all these exist? Does random chance possess a sense of humour?

Scientists are often too busy looking at details with their microscopes (yup, that so is me!) or telescopes (guilty again) so they miss the overall picture. It's a bit like standing inside a giant footprint which can only be seen in its entirety from a distance.
