In fact it is so well established that the multiverse theory was dreamed up to account for it!!

Sean Carroll seems to disagree completely. However, for the sake of argument, let's grant that the universe is indeed finely tuned. Even if this is the case, we're not one step closer to demonstrating that any deity exists. All we've done is show that the universe was fine-tuned by something. That something could be a million different things. What makes you think a god is a more likely fine-tuner?

If the possible universes that God could create are infinite, what are the odds that we would get a God that would choose to create this exact one out of all those possibilities?

Xenophanes "But if cattle and horses and lions had hands
or could paint with their hands and create works such as men do,
horses like horses and cattle like cattle
also would depict the gods' shapes and make their bodies
of such a sort as the form they themselves have.

You better stop before you beclown yourself any more, Brian. You're so ignorant that you apparently don't even know that Xenophanes was a monotheist and the above quote is a critique of ancient Greek polytheism. Idiot.

Asshat. The monotheism of Xenophanes is irrelevant to the point of the quote.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
