The reason our universe is mostly matter is because of something called "baryon asymmetry". For some reason, no atom of antimatter larger or more complex than an anti-helium atom (1 anti-proton, 1 anti-neutron, orbited by 1 positron) has ever been observed in nature. Scientists believe that our universe either was born with laws such that positive matter was more likely to exist than negative matter, or that it started out perfectly in balance and something happened to shift the laws such that matter was preferred.
With that in mind, think about the "many-worlds" model of quantum physics. If our universe's laws settled such that matter was preferred over antimatter, then it stands to reason that there is are parallel universes in which antimatter is dominant.
From that set of universes in which antimatter dominants, there is likely to be at least one in which the laws of physics are suitable for intelligent life to develop at some point.
Pare down the set of antimatter-dominant, intelligent life-supporting universe to those in which the Sol system developed in a manner similar to ours, and pare that set to the universes in which the antimatter-composed you exists.
Basically, when you deal with the fact that there are an infinity of parallel universes that exists, anything you can think of, or can't think of, is real.

I felt that this was a very well thought-out post, and, as such, I think it seems very ironic for your self-defining avatar to be Johnny Bravo.

Anyway, I pretty much agree with everything you just said regarding that.
