Quote:Evolution couldn't have occurred without fine-tuning. Natural selection depends on a large set of chemical and biological processes that can't be ascribed to coincidence.
You have that exactly backwards - populations of organisms evolve biological processes to suit their environment (this is why the Negev Desert doesn’t have a population of polar bears).
What you’ve done is presumed that environments were deliberately designed to be fit for predetermined groups of organisms. That’s not how it works.
Formally, this is what you’ve done:
1. If God designed the universe, then human beings would exist.
2. Human beings exist.
3. Therefore, God designed the universe.
See the problem?

Right, fallacy of affirming the consequent, one of my favorites since it's brought up so much, and pretty funny and obvious when you think about it:
If I am Tommy Smothers, I am highly proficient with yoyos.
I am highly proficient with yoyos.
Therefore I am Tommy Smothers.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
