Because an all-powerful being would not be so constrained as to be forced to "fine-tune" anything. But it does raise an interesting question- if the creator was so exacting in his design of the universe and the laws of physics, why did he do such a colossally awful job when it came to making sentient beings?

I believe God did a great job with creation. As far as we go, well, because He allowed us to have a free will we are the ones who made his creation suffer by our negligence.

Nice of him to give us something he didn't really want us to use.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Interesting: where do black holes, cosmic radiation, and more locally, natural disasters dome into your little picture of everything bad being our fault?

Also the sun exploding, annihilating earth. I don't feel like we are to blame for that one up at all!
