The Case for Theism

[Whateverist]

Thus far I have submitted 4 lines of evidence in favor of theism along with argumentation why those facts support theistic belief as opposed to the non-theistic model.



5. The fact there are several characteristics of the universe that fall within an extremely narrow range that not only allow life as we know it, but also allow the existence of planets, stars, solar systems and galaxies.

Isn't the same thing true of our planet? A real Goldilocks set of circumstances to be sure. But are those conditions as they are so that someone's creation will be nice and cozy? Or are we here to ask the question because the conditions for our existence made it possible to become observers?

I fail to see how Goldilocks conditions at the galactic or local levels are any indication of tinkering. That we are here means that the necessary conditions are here to permit it. That is neither evidence of fine tuning nor of random luck. It is just unsurprisingly necessary.
