More philosophical drivel.
I'll defend the position, just for the heck of it. It's not entirely drivel: if some of the quark masses were a bit higher, no stable atoms would form and everything would be a kind of uniform radiation bath with hydrogen or neutrons in it, and nothing beyond that. It would not be a universe with enough structure for a mind to emerge, or Darwinian evolution to take place.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
