If the universe was fine tuned for our life...

But causality tells us they have causes none the less. The notion that our reality is just a sub-reality of a larger reality is easier for me to accept than the idea that causality doesn't always hold.

The universe doesn't care what is easier for Heywood, myself, or anyone else to accept.

I find the double-slit experiment results difficult to accept - nonetheless, the results are what they are.

The crux of the matter is this - we don't know those things (your premises D & E) to be true, so your conclusion F is, as far as we can tell, unsupported. (And before you get your panties in a twist, I'm not arguing against causality - I just happen to think your argument is shit.)

But in the christian subreality, the universe is ordered by an omnipotent being to be exactly how uneducated bronze age goat fucking bedouins and their modern day groupies would imagine it to be.

I can tell you no intelligent being lies either at the origin of or at point in that subreality.
