Calculating the probability of what through thats the ticket.

I think some of you understand what I was trying to say.
Doesn't matter if you exist now. What I'm trying to say why NOW? The nothingness had all the time (infinite) before you were born. And it had all the time before you were born and die. Why now?

Your here now because my sub conscience allows it.. Joking. This is a good question that I think everyone has thought about. for all I know you all could just be figments of my imagination along with the past, present, and future. If im am the the only one who actually exists then that above wasn't a joke (selfish thought huh?)

Is it all upto chance? Why were we born now and not 100,100,10000 years ago, or the same for the future? Is it all random chance?
Thank you. I was thinking it was by chance. But still there's this festering thought... even if it was by chance, why now? Why not in the past or in the future?
I have often asked christians this. God created us right? He had all the time (infinity). Why now? Why not back then? Why not later?

This came up about the fear of death. I have been thinking about this for a long time.
Let's assume the time is linear.
Why weren't we born in the past or in the future?
Some theorized that the time is circular or the universe is a closed loop. That still doesn't answer the question.
Why now and not then or in the future?
Even if we lived in the past (our past lives), still doesn't answer the question. Why this particular time? Why not even 1 second later?
We could have been born and died long time ago. Or born in the future.
I think this is a mystery.
