The universe is balanced on a knife-edge

Did the universe just kind of fall into place?

As science continues to unfold its mysteries, the exquisite design that emerges amazes.

Paul Davies, professor of theoretical physics at Adelaide University marvels:

“The really amazing thing is not that life on Earth is balanced on a knife-edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a knife-edge and would be total chaos if any of the natural ‘constants’ were off even slightly.”

Is this precision a matter of luck or design?
