Like why planet? Why sphere? Why is there a solar system? Why system instead of no system? How did entropy create anti-entropy agents? Bees, humans, anything that builds non-random structures?
Sorry if this is a bad question, it just popped into my head and it won’t go away.

Can’t remember where I saw it, but there was a study once of someone trying to create life in a lab using what they believed to be all the essential minerals, conditions, etc. for anything to have sparked into creation. At the end of the day, they were not able to artificially create life, but one of the scientists arrived at the hypothesis that maybe it was because they were going about it all wrong.
They were trying to bring life / order out of disorder, but, in the grand scheme of things, life is one of the most destructive forces around. For as much as we build, we also destroy and consume. That scientist’s experiment failed because his parameters are wrong – life, and humans in particular, are actually the fastest way toward entropy and disorder.
