I guess that is what he means by "fine tuning"? Or maybe hurricanes existing means the Ocean God Poseidon "fine tunes" hurricanes. Or maybe the Hawaiian God Pele "fine tunes" volcanic eruptions.
Naw, all this is a battle between Yoda and Darth Vader.
Well at least someone responded to me. I guess the theists don't want to convince me after all.
It's really all a battle between Yoda and Darth Vader, trust me. They've made several box office documentaries that are popular.
Hey SteveII
Ever notice how blunt Judge Judy is? Ever see an episode where she throws out the case and doesn't give the claimant anything and also throws out the counter suit and both walk out with nothing? That is how skeptics like me treat all religions. My bluntness with you is the same, even with other atheists when I think they got it wrong.
If you had a friend walking around every day claiming "The New England Patriots beat the Chicago Cubs in the Stanley Cup" and they repeated that falsehood over and over, don't tell me you would not get to the point of being irritated enough to correct them.
I get that you like what you believe, but so what. Others like what they believe. Many atheists here did and maybe some have used that same "fine tuning" argument you still use. But again, this is nothing new we haven't seen before, and arguing science isn't a patent solely owned by one religion, they all do it, not just you, and not just your religion.
I am being blunt with you, nothing more. You on the other hand still insist on defending a very old book that does not contain the slightest understanding of what modern science does. You are simply mentally reaching back in time after the fact merely to convince yourself, nothing more.
