Make claims, fail to support those claims, move on to the next talking point. So, you've decided to hop on board with me then? What was impossible or impossibly improbable only a few posts ago is now not so difficult to understand. You've had some misconceptions about probability and the effect of large numbers on any given flip of the coin cleared up for you? Now you're talking about the "miracle of survival". Think I may have mentioned something like that. Nonetheless, survival does not require or invoke any god whatsoever. Large numbers at play again. The majority of these simple lifeforms did not survive. You're objections add nothing to our understanding of the subject, and have already been handled.
You're right btw, space is hostile to our sort of life. So is the ocean, if only by way of it's vast emptiness. Most of the ocean is a huge desert even to this day. Neither were "fine tuned" for us.
