Fine Tuning Argument

But do carry on, I'm having fun waching you doing silly apologetics. That you feel insulted I already know, theists always have thin skins Tongue
I'm afraid there is a lot of silly quote mining. As if Lee Smolin or any reputable physicist thinks a god was sitting there with some dials to ensure we would arrive at some point; just ridiculous. A misuse of probability theories to state look how nearly we didn't get here. Is that the best that can be done to infer god? Fine tuning is so weak as an argument. A godcould clearly have improved on the design as he can create at least one habitable world. Why not more? Why is 99.99999999999999999999%+ hostile to life? What were the odds of the universe not coming into existence with the constants as they are? What other combinations would lead to other life forms? There are clearly other configurations that lead to life seemingly god lives in one. All these questions are unadressed by fine tuning but need to be answered.
