Cobalt, I'll admit I don't see how it follows. Does existence vs. nonexistence have a causal relationship to whether or not the universe needs an architect?
Obviously (and that is a relative term) nonexistence cannot contemplate itself. Existence can contemplate itself. We exist, and we stare at our navels - sometimes in groups like this :-D
But does it follow that existence mustcontemplate itself?
I'd like to think that the universe could exist without spectators or even a creator. But - there is a certain self-effacement to willingly removing myself from the model. Is this it, or are you thinking something different?

I sound like coug, except more syllables :-D
