Evidence for Fine Tuning

Nope sorry, just like MK a Muslim here, just like Atlas a Muslim here on this website, when you cant peddle "pretty" alone you try to combine "pretty" with science. But again, I have also seen Jews and Hindus and Buddhist try to point to the pretty in life and try to use science to prop it up.

Nothing about this universe is "fine tuned". If it were, we would not be isolated on a very violent planet that has had 4 billion years of violent change. We would not be stuck with meteors and comets that could hit us. Our solar system would not be in a galaxy full of empty space between the billions of suns. Our galaxy would not be light years away from others nor surrounded by mostly empty space too. 

You stupidly equate abundance of life on earth as equating the universe to being "fine tuned", well not even with life does that make sense. If we were "fine tuned" as a species it would not be millions of sperm per emission to one egg per period cycle. If we were fine tuned a ratio of 1 to 1 with a 100% success rate would make more sense if one were to claim a perfect being being a factory boss. In real factories, the ones that do business globally, anything less than 98% output quality would be considered a failure. 

Again, you are not taking efficiency into this quality control, you are simply stuck on your sense of awe because humans exist and can take note of life. Most attempts at life fail. Most sperm do nothing, most eggs do nothing. Most acorns that drop from trees simply rot or become food for animals. And even with our solar system, we are the only planet out of them all that harbors intelligent life. And most of our species history has been living in total scientific ignorance. Our modern knowledge really only took off 150 years ago, and even morso over the past 40 years. 

That seems to be alot of waste for an alleged all powerful God to make if you want to claim he put it all here for humans.
