Quote:Fine-tuning refers to the existence of a habitable zone that supports the best life form the universe can offer.The best....oh boy..here we go again.....
Quote:Carbon-H2O is the best life form we've discovered, and it has an extremely small habitable zone--which our universe just so happens to have.Why a universe at all, why a habitable zone..why carbon, why water, why not just one fucking planet..nothing around it - full of the life that got magic'd into existence?
Quote:You can come up with a million parallel universes (if you had the knowledge), but each would still need fine-tuning for complex reproductive life.You mean each would require "fine tuning" for reproductive life if god were not necessary, if all that were required were those natural laws. Magic has no such requirements.
Quote: Basically your question is "Why, Creator, did you shape us this way and not any of the other infinite ways?" And the funny thing is, we would ask the same question no matter what universe we found ourselves in.No, my question is,..why create everything in such a way as it could work without a god...and why create things in this way at all if you could have created things without all these requirements just the same. Why make yourself unnecessary? But in truth..I'm not asking this to god...I'm asking you...and you have a habit of responding to the questions asked of a god (that's telling, in and of itself btw). When you refer to tuning, and all of these very natural requirements (and how they're met)..you're actually explaining all of the ways that life came to be and is supported in the absence of a god....in the absence of magic.
Quote:My question is... why do the earth and moon appear so beautiful to us?You must mean to you. You know an animal that proibably doesn't think very highly of the moon? Gazelle. Fucking lions.
