The anthropic principle states that in our own universe, all these seemingly arbitrary and unrelated values in physics have one strange thing in common: They are precisely the values needed to get a universe capable of supporting life.

…Astronomer George Greenstein writes: “If this is the best way to make a universe, how did the universe find out?”
