A fined tuned argument.....Heywood style.

RE: A fined tuned argument.....Heywood style.

"Few" can be defined as any amount less than the amount needed to give the universe an appearance of not being fine-tuned for emergent complexity.

What do you mean by "appear as being fine-tuned" ? The constants are what they are, what is it you see that "appears" one way rather than another?

For example, suppose I'm patching a hole in my roof. I get done and go inside. During the night, there is a storm. I awake to find one of the roofing tiles blew off and landed exactly on top of the stack of spare tiles that I had left over. Does this result "appear" fine tuned? What is it specifically that makes it appear fine tuned? Does this imply that the placement of the blown off tile was designed? Can I conclude that it didn't land there by accident and was picked up and placed there?
