Fair enough. It makes more sense if you are a reductionist, and you also deduce that matter coming into being makes no sense, and that it could probably happen the same way again.

It also makes no sense that there would be nothing for an infinite amount of time, then the universe just pops into being one day, and we happen to be those lucky few that come to exist by sheer chance.

It's more likely that the universe just has boom and bust cycles. Over time, through sheer randomness, it comes into being again. I don't believe there is anything so special about us that can't be recreated by sheer randomness. If we are just patterns, any pattern that can happen, can happen again as well.

So there we go. There are a lot of things that aren't clear, like how specific does this pattern have to be (do we have to start with the exact same lives? Or will we be some alien snails with mild sentience).
