When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?
RE: When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?
Scenario 1:

God set up a system where there had to be certain universal constants, which would cause his plan to fail if he didn't then set them to extremely precise amounts; and even then, he set it up so that life only barely managed to be created, and almost the entire universe would kill the life instantly.

Scenario 2:

The system was already set up, and god had to do the best he could with it and fine tune the constants already in place, so that he could salvage a really bad design.

Unfounded assumption 1: the constants could have been anything other than what they are.

Unfounded assumption 2: that life wouldn't have still developed, in some form we can't imagine, under different constants.

Unfounded assumption 3: that all the possible values for the constants aren't already in place in multiverses, ultimately meaning that the correct one had to be somewhere.

Unfounded assumption 4: that this particular creator, if there is one, is anything other than a nameless, faceless programmer with no interest in us, especially considering the relatively minuscule amount of time we will have been alive on this planet.

Unfounded assumption 5: that the creator is very concerned about where we stick our nobs.

That's Numberwang!
