Why do people keep banging on about the fine tuning of the Universe saying that it must have been designed because the chances of all these constants being exactly as they are is so remote as to prove the existence of a mystical 'tuner'.
Can't they grasp the simple concept that the very fact that we are here to ask these questions means that the Universe must be the way it is, otherwise we simply would not be here to ask these questions.
Why is the Universe the way it is? Who says it needs a reason? Just because our hominid brain seeks answers to these question does not mean that there are answers. Perhaps there are as many different Universes out there in hyperspace as there are different combinations for the various cosmological constants, even more perhaps. So, purely from chance can we predict that there must be a Universe like this where the various 'variables' are tuned in such a way as to allow matter to form in such a way as to give rise to the existence of all that we see. It would then follow that there must be many Universes where matter can't form and all there is, is a sea of particles or maybe gravity is as strong as all the other forces and so on and so on....
Just because we can't understand why things are the way they are doesn't mean that an all powerful version of ourselves is responsible.
