One time I had someone tell me that believing the universe was created by random chance was like blowing up a library and having the pieces just happen to fall and form the complete works of Shakespeare.
But it occurred to me later that maybe what had happened is that someone blew up a library, the pieces just fell where ever, and then this guy was coming along and saying "This is too perfect. It could never have happened like this twice. It must be the will of God."
The universe didn't form by a series of dice rolls. It formed according to natural laws in the only way that it could have formed.

It seems highly likely that it did. It's hard to imagine that it came from nothing. Apparently "nothing" has vast energy potential both positive and negative. The net result over very small intervals of time is always zero. It is likely that a false vacuum appeared with a non-zero energy level the result was the Big Bang. With the big bang the balance sheet got out of whack and a vast amount of energy was released and stayed in being just long enough to allow the formation of sub-atomic particles (quarks and electrons etc. and also photons). most of this mass/energy canceled out But a tiny amount didn't. That tiny little bit resulted in the Universe we observe today.
How did the books get cooked? Modern physics
believes it could be because of the intervention of the Higgs field. Theory has it that the Higgs field is responsible for giving sub-atomic particles their mass. The math to understand this is way way out of my league but that's the gist of it.

Depends on what you mean by "random" and "act of chance". Random indicates that there was no specific order to the event such as would take place in a succession of events in which each has a specific place. Since there is only one universe we know of and only one "coming into being" of it, then the word random here makes no sense. As far as "act of chance" goes, the word act itself infers something purposefully carried out rather than something happening by "chance". Your question is very confused isn't it?

Definetly NO. I don't even believe in the big bang theory. I am a old-timer believing in the steady state theory. As galaxies move apart from cosmic expansion, new matter is spontaneously created and this creation of new matter is the cause of the cosmic expansion. I know that this theory doesn't conserve energy. I think conservation of energy does not hold in certain parts of the universe where the density of matter and energy is very low.

Well. I believe that chance and random acts have nothing to do with it. The big bang just 'happened'. The whys and wherefores are beyond what we are able to work with.

Not possible. Every effect has a cause. If the universe used to not exist and now it does exist something had to cause it to exist. This something had to at first not cause it and then make a willful choice to cause it. In addition the causing agent had to be more powerful than all the energy in the entire inverse. We call it God.

The universe is to perfect and in order to just have happen by chance.

In the realm of nothing chance is not a factor.

No. It had something to do with white mice, and the number 42.
