Still, we have this intuition that if the values needed to be in a certain range, then it is unlikely those values would end up in that range purely by chance. Just like the argument from design, the crux of the argument is based upon the idea that similar applications of this intuition have proven reliable, so this application of the intuition is likely to be reliable. I'm not aware of anyone tackling the question of the reliability of the intuition itself. In the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy's article on arguments for design, it points out that there are significant differences between the application of that argument's central intuition in the Caputo case, and how it is applied to the case of possible design by a God (See main article, HERE). I have to wonder if the same cannot be said for the various intuitions underlying the composite argument that JairCrawford has referenced.
