You are right Adey, I did read a lot about Fine tuning & yes we humans are always very curious about the causes as we like to own it or change it after knowing why,how etc..

You can't say "The human mind looks for patterns and causes even when there are none there." as your statement contradicts the basic and first law of thermodynamics.

The human mind is the mechanism by which the universe knows itself - It is good thought but we are still not sure what 100% the universe is. Again mind has intelligence. Intelligence is again as diverse & complex as universe.

If humans didn't exist would the universe still be here? Yes as energy cannot be destroyed.
