   Only a bad author would take that approach.  It is *not* the case that   
   anything can happen simply because you have infinities. With those   
   combinations comes an infinity of *dependencies* that result in outcomes   
   that must be inherently stable according to the laws of the universe in   
   question.   
      
   For example, there isn’t a version of this universe where everything is   
   identical *except* the mass of the Earth is twice as great and yet   
   everything grows twice as tall.  That just won’t happen without a *lot*   
   of new physics to explain it.   
      
   Or look at the new Kong movie I see being advertised.  The trailers show   
   a *very* energetic large creature that is living on an isolated island.   
   That sort of ecosystem *alone* is simply not believable to anyone with   
   half a brain living in this universe.

   And that makes *zero* sense, given what we know about the intertwined   
   genetics of *all* living things on this planet.  Writers shouldn’t be   
   biting off more than they can chew when it comes to trying to explain   
   the big picture.  It especially falls flat when they make *no* effort   
   to explain *why* all the variations somehow had a natural selection   
   process that had survival rest seeming on such insignificant traits   
   as fucking face ridges.

   Well, then here’s hoping your desire to explain that outcome doesn’t   
   exceed your scientific grasp of how it might actually happen.  Hand   
   waving only works when you’re not doing it in front of a chalk board.
