The universe is not, objectively speaking, finely-tuned for life. We're just conditioned to see it that way since we ourselves experience life and we like to focus on ourselves and the immediate surroundings. But what we often ignore is that the majority of the universe doesn't seem to be filled with life.
And do you agree with his naturalistic explanation of "That because there is a law of gravity the Universe can and will create itself" and "That in the singularity the laws of nature necessarily breakdown"?
The laws of mathematics say that 1+1=2, but the laws have never produced a single dollar, and if the laws of nature or broken down in the singularity, then the naturalistic starting point is also supernatural.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
