Continuous Change.
The one perpetual fact that is recognisable, in the Universe and life on Earth, is continuous change. At first glance it may appear the universe is static but in actual fact new stars and solar systems with numerous planets are naturally being created. The rate of natural creation is mind blowing and without any specific intention. This includes life on Earth. Especially the variety of life forms. There have been radical changes such as life that survived without the need for oxygen but some of that life became extinct with the abundance of oxygen. Even the proliferation of oxygen was initiated without intention by Cyanobacteria which is a blue green algae and by photosynthesis converts Carbon Dioxide and water into carbohydrates and free Oxygen. The production of Oxygen by the algae is described as a byproduct.
Just to make the point clear, I am not suggesting that every species of life has to change but all life has the potential for change. Even species that have survived for millions of years could have variations in their physiology. I love this idea, because it has astounding possibilities!
You may well ask how the Universe exists? If there was a starting point, the qualities to survive would ultimately be to prevail or not. It would be natural selection in its grandest terms. It is impossible to know how many other Universes survive or become extinct at the starting point. However chaos and order can only have one worthwhile outcome. That is a certain amount of order must survive, otherwise there would be no Universe. Unintended chaos in the form of countless collisions consistently takes place as meteors and galaxies collide. In time, stars reach the end of life spans and some large stars explode, releasing new material for new stars. That new material is the basis for planets and life.
I will turn my attention to life involving Homo Sapiens which are a product of change. There have been competing species that have interbred leaving traces of the event in some modern peoples’ DNA. This can be seen in the Neanderthals and Denisovans. There are also at least eight hominids before the domination of Homo Sapiens. In that respect change could have been hastened with the demise of the Neanderthals by conflict with Homo Sapiens. Thus only leaving one species of Humans.
In conclusion I would suggest that ignoring the effects of change would leave the observer with a false view of reality. Some changes can be predicted such as ageing and dying or the birth of new life. Whereas some change can be unpredictable like accidents or pandemics. Change is necessary though and that is what makes almost everything a possibility.
