The Anthropic conclusion, has a lot of merit, because it contains the cause an effect logic required to stitch an observable reality together, all tied together by the laws of physics. In linear time. If you don't question it too much it will do. Concluding that we are all roughly observing the same thing, and therefore have a life, which to some degree is predictable.Well, I'm going to give you more anyway!
If you really want to know why we are here (as opposed to, say, there) read this book:
The Anthropic Cosmological Principle
by John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler
First published 1986.
It's packed chock full of interesting facts and theories - it'll keep you out of mischief for ages!
"Is there any connection between the vastness of the universes of stars and galaxies and the existence of life on a small planet out in the suburbs of the Milky Way? This book shows that there is. In their classic work, John Barrow and Frank Tipler examine the question of Mankind's place in the Universe, taking the reader on a tour of many scientific disciplines and offering fascinating insights into issues such as the nature of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the past history and fate of our universe."

If a book of about 700 pages is too much to cope with, Wiki explores some of the ideas here:

(It's also been discussed on a few threads on this MB.)
Enjoy!
But when you bring in the Mind which to a great extent can be in Amsterdam one second and London the next, defies the laws of physics which is strange? as the Classical view of the Universe should forbid this as it has no bearing on presumed reality.We should have no concept of living outside of the observed reality, unless we have already experienced this other state, or even exist in it during periods like sleep, death, or many of the other things that can change consciousness.
