Why did God set up a framework so that he then had to fine tune parameters? And then, to just barely get us part of one planet to inhabit, and virtually all the rest of the universe to be deadly? He set it up so the best he could do was the smallest success possible without totally failing.
Doesn't make sense to me.
Well, I am not God so I can't answer, only infer. The universe is massive to a scale that is difficult to imagine with many mysteries we have yet to approach understanding. To me, that is not a sign of God's limitation but puts us in awe and wonderment of his power and speaks to the uniqueness of mankind in God's plan. You see it as nonsense, and a sign the creator is not all powerful, I see it as us created special for His purpose that we may not understand.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
