   Is this the multiverse argument? In either case there would be   
   no stars, hence, not heavier elements, no carbon, not oxygen.   
   But if gravity was slightly too strong, the universe would have   
   ended before stars could form in a big crunch, if gravity was   
   slightly weaker, then the universe would have expanded too fast   
   and just disappear over the bounders.
