Coincidences’ Modern cosmology offers us mathematical models of the possible large-scale structure of the universe. Like any other mathematical model, the actual features depend on the numbers that we choose to put in the

variants of steady-state cosmology . For example, one may envisage an infinite chaotic universe in which ‘bubbles’ of order appear and disappear at random. Thus our universe is merely a small local departure from the steady-state

universes in a quantum cosmology, and if life continues to exist in all of these universes, then all of these universes, which include all possible histories among them, will approach the Omega Point. At the instant the Omega Point is

a conventional Big Bang cosmology , it still gives the impression that our existence is an accident of vanishingly small probability. Thus, in practice, it usually appears in conjunction with a cosmological model which suggests that there is

if his "no-boundary cosmology " was correct then there would be no need for a creator. His cosmological model proposes that there was no precise moment when the universe "began", because there was no precise moment when time
