Is there an official name for my hypothesis?

I know that I'm not the only one who's thought of this, but I don't recall any names addressing this issue.

When people think about how life exists in all its complexity, religious goers give the example of the clock and how everything is too complex to "not" be designed by a higher being and such. Things cannot happen randomly over time to create it and etc.

Now the hypothesis I've been thinking of would be the non believer's alternative to the watch scenario.

Instead of a blank canvas which a designer fills to create a masterpiece.

I think of it more as a mathematical formula, in which there are many ways to reach a certain answer. The answer is absolute but the processes which you can use to get there varies. And the process is accomplished by trail and error.

-------------------

Say we take the position of the earth which contains the only forms of life we know at the moment. Any closer to the sun and it would be too hot, any farther and it would be too cold. "Perfect" in an exaggerated sense of the word.

A religious man would claim that it's perfect therefore someone must have put it there.

I hypothesize that perhaps it has reached its perfect state due to there being no other option. If life could have formed closer or father from the sun then it would have. Essentially the result of a "perfect" earth location for life is due to there simply being no other option due to trial and error. If life could have existed elsewhere it already would.

Therefore earth location is not perfect but simply the result of options exhausted.

-------------------------

Things become more complex and become more "perfect" in our eyes because all other options have either been already tried or lack the prerequisite to be fulfilled thus leading to the only choice left.

Since the only choice left is the only choice we have come to know, we see this only choice as the "perfect" choice.

The concept is similar to natural selection except that it applies to more than just the environment selecting mutations beneficial for life. It's that all options have already been exhausted leading to the next step. Since if a different option for progress was viable it would already have been taken.

---------------------

Sorry if the concept I'm trying to relate seems to be hard to get across.

This was more of an afternoon's thought, and communicating ideas of this nature with words over the internet things are lost in translation. As opposed to if we were sitting at a cafe discussing this where I could elaborate and clarify points of confusion.

P.S. While all answers are welcomes please don't say something random without explaining its significance. Example: 2nd Law of Thermodynamics without explaining what it has to do with the idea. Thanks.
