Nature: The Goddess

Sometimes you witness something so profound you stop and gaze in awe.

Nature constantly astounds me - I revel in her beauty.

What is even more incredible is that such beauty arose without a creator. Such beauty is inherently natural, it is a property of matter to form beauty.

Or maybe as a creature constructed from matter and part of nature I am bound to be drawn to her. Anyway, here is some porn for your natural self:

the beauty of nature is inherent in its mathematical perfection. The probability of every single event that has happened since the birth of the universe is so unbelievably infinite; The single most mind blowing concept in the world

I would argue that nature is not mathematically perfect. Many parts of nature relate to different mathematical constants or concepts, but nature is not mathematically perfect. Assuming that being mathematically perfect means that nature would fit simple math models, ratios, and constants. There are many things like turbulence and multiple body relationships that math has not yet conquered. Something has to have happened since the birth of the universe - as improbable as any choice is, something will be "chosen". The route that the universe has taken is not necessarily the best but I appreciate it. I am not sure what part of the probability of events transpiring is mind blowing.

The universe is still constrained by some physical laws, like the conservation of energy and increasing entropy. So the probabilities are not quite infinite.
