There are 1 or 2 problems with this way of thinking. On the one hand you have got the concept of 1. On the other hand you have the concept of 2. Either way it is a difficult conundrum to have any real conclusion. I look forward to a day where rational humans can work out whether 1 or 2 is relevant to their lives. I await the outcome of real scientific research as to the probabilty of 1 or 2 being better.
I have long held doubts as to whether 1 has any precedence over 2.
We should leave this to people more gifted than us.

A very anthropocentric view Bert, and your doubts are pure speculation unless you can provide a link to refereed and peer-reviewed scientific papers. Contrary to popular belief, 1 and 2 are not in conflict and there is no conundrum. Both fit nicely within the standard cosmological model. Or not....

Cheers -
