The fine tuning argument
#9
RE: The fine tuning argument
Other forms of life might have arisen. Ours isn't at all special. Indeed, is life special at all? It's a biochemical phenomenon which occupies a tiny corner of one galaxy among billions. We'd be more justified in saying that the universe was designed to create large amounts of empty space.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
