Quote:the apparent fine tunning

Earth has been hammered, too

Earth is the drunken asshole of the planets, waking up all his neighbors at three AM in the morning because he's climbed onto their rooftops and is doing his best imitation of a howler monkey.

What's this about fine tuning? Rename it the howler monkey argument. Scream and whoop and create enough noise until the opposition decides to pay attention to you.

Fine tuning doesn't exist, it's entirely dependent upon the observer to interpret such a condition. It has no independent basis in reality unless you can provide evidence of some ultimate goal. To what perfected standard is the universe's design striving for?

Also, here's a howler monkey for your viewing pleasure.
