There is something called the strong anthropic principal
http://en.wikipedia.o...i/Anthropic_principle
Now I emphasise that this is particularly contraversial and most (although not all) scientists won't give this the time of day.
It basically exists that the Universe has to exist in the way that it does because it is necessary for concious observers to come into existance in order for it to form at all.
This would entail the future existance of intelligent life affecting the formation of the physical laws of the Universe.
However because we don't know how these laws came to be what they are it is highly speculative.
Personally I wouldn't dismiss it as impossible just because it's counter-intuitive - I wouldn't think it's likely though
