i think not, but the universe is non-sense if there are no one to rule or use it and only humans can do it. i believe the universe is an unused tool that finds her user and that is the humans.

If we bring the universe into existence are we not then the creators of the universe?

What if the universe is mine alone? I'm God?

And what does that tool do? Without a wielder, humans?, the tool does not exist?

what does that tool do?
- to protect its user and to protect the tool
Without a wielder, humans?, the tool does not exist?
- since no one cares for it, it will begin to decay, it is the destruction of the tool, the end of the universe.

i believe it was crafted by some kind of supernatural being for some kind of goal that humans were assign to attain it and that goal remains unknown to me.

i believe that the reality we live in is just a test, a test if we can be a successor to a supernatural being(s).

It is not possible.
Clearly, the brain is necessary and prior to the existence of mind.
The universe's prior existence is required in order to produce brain.

That the universe had properties before the advent of humans, is necessarily true.

Without humans, abstract entities do not exist.
Truth, language, logic, number, etc. exist only within mind.

Our awareness is not a condition on the world at all.

@north,
We can think of the universe as a mental concept of all that there is, but as an abstract concept with temporal existence (and a past) and operating under physical laws, it is dependent on human existence. Its significance and its meaning (including the identification of events or occasions) seems completely dependent upon humans to provide it.

inorder to do so means that you understand all it takes , to produce the physical objects

so please explain everything in this Universe to the last detail

But this cannot be right, for if the universe depend on us, then if we don` t exist, then the universe would not exist. This is contrary to intuition.
