Is the Existence of a Cosmic Intelligence More Probable Than a Randomly Occurring Universe?

This report explores the hypothesis that the existence of a cosmic intelligence — not necessarily tied to any religion — is more probable than the universe arising purely through random, naturalistic processes. By employing Bayesian probability reasoning, entropy-based estimates, and fine-tuning arguments from physics, this report evaluates which hypothesis better accounts for the existence of a fine-tuned, life-permitting universe.
