Nature (or laws of physics, god, etc.) put together particles into matter, put together some special matter into organic matter, which evolved into organisms, finally into human beings, who then thought about Nature, did science, philosophy and all other stuff.
Assuming evolution is directed towards consciousness and assuming consciousness is a complex simulation of the environment we are in, Nature, through humans, asks and thinks about Nature. It simulates itself through human brain.
This seems like a strange loop, if we imagine that this hierarchy is infinite both ways. The universe we are in, may be another simulation, and inside of our own simulations, thinkings, there could be smaller simulations. Like a fractal, representing itself inside a smaller part of itself.
