Continuing on the preciseness or the big bang forces - This precise balance between gravity and dark energy is documented in the Hawking, Modinow book ‘The Grand Design. From chapter 7 "the laws of nature form a system that is extremely fine-tuned, and very little in physical law can be altered without the possibility of the development of life as we know it". Goes on to say that the Cosmological Constant (the energy density that causes the universe's expansion, referred to as dark energy) has a value 10^120 (as a comparison, the est. atoms in the observable universe is 10^80. (). Continuing - "the one thing that is certain is that if the value of the Cosmological Constant were much larger than it is, our universe would have blown itself apart before galaxies could form--once again--life as we know it would impossible".
Historical sciences such as astronomy, paleontology, geology oftentimes make inferences to the best explanation of the observed data. By itself, the expansion balance between these competing forces is quite impressive to indicate this was planned rather than unplanned, but not conclusive. But many other examples pretty much clinch the deal - here’s just 2.
1) For instance, there’s an abundance of data to indicate cyanobacteria (*biochemical complex) existed by 3.5 bya a mere 400 mil years after the Hadean era fully functional (**too intricate and developed for any naturalistic model in this span of time).
2) The brain and thought. Thought needs a fully functional brain. To posit the brain self-assembly without thought, one would be proposing that after eons of eternity, one day there as a thought. Wonder what that first thought was, perhaps -‘well we finally achieved it; good thing we THOUGHT of everything like information to replicate ourselves, capability to convert energy to a usable form (boy that metabolism was a toughie), and information stored to replicate ourselves; well of course we need to try that out, hope it works or we go back into eternity’.
*The cell wall and membrane cannot be constructed without proteins, RNA & DNA; and these molecules cannot achieve stability without the cell wall & membrane.

Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
