Theists will say the laws of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, therefore a god must exist, then they will try to sell you their god.
I'd like to pitch my own fine-tuning argument. This argument applies to any god that would be intelligent and capable of creating a universe "fine-tuned" for life, but especially to theistic gods; those that believers claim are all-good, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. Doesn't such a god appear to be fine-tuned?
In the case of purely deistic gods, (those simply being highly-intelligent and powerful enough to create the universe) they would be fine-tuned to have great intelligence, and fine tuned to have great power.
In the case of the theistic god, particularly the Christian god, the god is fine-tuned to be good, completely powerful, completely knowing, as well as fine-tuned to be compassionate and caring enough to suffer for your sins. Pretty fine-tuned no?
So which seems more probable, that a natural process created the "fine-tuned" universe we see today, or that an infinitely more complex and fine-tuned god created the universe as we see it?
