"If a supernatural being fine-tuned the universe for human life, why can't I survive in a geothermal vent, or under six tonnes of gravel?"
Billy, you are the one claiming that the universe is fine-tuned for life, and yet the universe is all dead matter except for Earth which is minuscule compared to the universe. And on top of that, Earth is full of deadly stuff, like sun rays give you skin cancer which is not fine-tuned for life.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
