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

You'd have to try awfully hard to be more condescending. And no, I don't have to try harder. The chameleon example stands. Their subrealities aren't the result of design.

I think you're on to something. Think about it like Plato's cave, as Heywood's spider suggests. The world we perceive is limited to our senses, sight, hearing, touch, taste. But a bat's perception includes radar (playtypus' too BTW) and in many bats its radar perception out-stripes its sight and the nighttime world it perceives is quite different from ours. If discrete perception is all that's necessary to create a sub-reality than evolution has created many, many different sub-realities.

Bats and paltypi are not the only animals which use echo location. This boy uses it too.





Now I disagree with your claim that discrete perception creates a sub realities. That being said, even if your claim is true, discrete perception requires the existence of intelligence.

I find the notion of God existing outside of a reality to be nonsensical.
