I always found the fine tuning argument to be one of the least strong, although I know lots of smart people find it convincing. The reason is this: I am not concerned with "probabilities" when these events are prerequisites for this conversation. What are the odds that there would be life? What are the odds that we would be having this conversation in a universe that doesn't support life? What are the odds that everyone drinking in a bar is over 21? What are the odds that everyone with a college degree also has a GED? The probability argument is nothing more than a poorly worded question.
