Laplace's Demon

We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at any given moment knew all of the forces that animate nature and the mutual positions of the beings that compose it, if this intellect were vast enough to submit the data to analysis, could condense into a single formula the movement of the greatest bodies of the universe and that of the lightest atom; for such an intellect nothing could be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes.

-Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace

A Valid Natural Design Hypothesis

The following hypothesis contains the seeds for a new Anthropic Principle:
~

-Intelligent human life is required by the Principle of Least Action, (on a grand scale), as a necessary means for maximizing entropic efficiency within the constraints of the inherent asymmetries of our imperfect expanding universe-

The hypothesis defines a realistically plausible physical need for intelligent life in nature, and to assume anything else requires a leap of faith, considering that every action in an expanding universe is ultimately, and was initially, entropic.

For example, it requires an unfounded philosophical leap of faith outside of the basic entropic nature of nature to assume that there is no purpose in a universe that clearly expresses a predominant expansive tendency. And it requires a completely unsubstantiated leap in complexity in order to contrive an argument for human life as a function of purely random chance that will get you around this most fundamental physical reality of our universe. It also requires an unfounded faith-like philosophical leap in arrogance to presume that humans wouldn't be required players in the game that the rest of the universe has played since the Big Bang instilled the entropic tendency into everything in it at the moment of creation of THIS particular universe.

And that means the entropic nature of our universe supercedes all other motivations, ultimately, and so this frame of reference is necessarily preferred in terms of its most fundamental instructive nature.

In other words, the burden of proof is not on me to show why straying from this most fundamental nature of nature is justified, because this is inherently the most natural default position in a universe that has had a predominant expansive tendency since its time began.

By definition, that makes it the most naturally preferred theory.

Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.

Latin, for, "Entities should not be multiplied more than necessary". The fewer assumptions an explanation of a phenomenon depends on, the better it is.

-William of Occam, (1300-1349)
