NO ACCIDENT

We exist.  There is life on earth.  But how is our existence even possible?

So are we a happy accident?

Our earth rotates every 24 hours and the tilt of the earth maintains 23 degrees;

To some this suggests no accident.

The distance that we sit away from the sun, plus the fortunate pull of gravitas force;

Again might suggest no accident.

The sun is 400 times further away from us than the moon yet this relative distance gives them equal size in our perception;

Just an accident?

And then there is Jupiter and its 63 moons, which acts as a huge cosmic cleaner;

Surely this can be no accident?

And if the expansion of the universe lessened just slightly all of it would end.

Purely an accident?

And yet I am here.  I exist.  I am real, and so is the world I inhabit.

So please.   Do tell.  Is all of this is a mere, fortunate accident?
