| - Cosmological natural selection is a bizarre seeming idea that serious Scientists respect. Lee Smolin who is a world ranking cosmolgist, is closely involved with this, see Fecund universes. While still speculative, some new theories have put forward the idea that Natural selection exists on a cosmological scale. In this scenario, the universe is a superorganism that stores its genes in the fabric of spacetime. When the universe reproduces, it does so via the use of black holes, which take in genetic material from around neighboring regions of spacetime and force it through into a higher dimension, where it causes a Big Bang and the formation of a new universe. Natural Selection comes into play in that a universe needs large amounts of carbon to create the massive stars necessary to form black holes. Those universes which are predisposed to produce more carbon are more likely to produce black holes and so pass on their successful genes, while less successful universes are less likely to do so. As a bonus, universes which can produce more carbon are more likely to harbor life (which could potentially explain, and so disprove, the "Fine Tuning Argument").
