Quote:Solja you've got your maths upside down, you have made very likely things seem unlikely.
Imagine this you're walking down the road, you see a number plate on a random passing car say, h07 249, you say 'now what was the chances of me seeing that particular number plate'?
The fact is that if the universe was different enough for life to not exist then we wouldnt be having this discussion.
This does not mean that god set laws of physics. We dont know what did, but it is classic god of the gaps to make it yahwehs work.
And you see this as strong evidence for god! thats a big fail I'm afraid.
It isnt God of the gaps fallacy. Many things have been disproven by modern science, however, for some reason, they still cant disprove God, or that God could of been behind the universe. Either you believe something was behind the universe, or nothing was behind the universe...Not a God of the gaps fallacy.
Fine tuning arguement is more like this; Imagine one day you are walking down the streets of New York and you hear a couple of people asking why American is a super power. 'America is a super power because intelligent and hardworking people brought her up to be as powerful as she is now.' you hear someone say. Another person says, 'America became a super power by chance! It wasnt about intelligence or hardworking.' You keep on walking shaking your head at the possibility of USA's status coming from mere chance.
Thats a better way to see the fine tuning arguement...

Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
