I did reply. Brina, and now you, seem not to have noticed. All major religions agree with respect to the god of classical theism as revealed by general revelation, which is all that matters for the fine-tuning argument. They do differ with respect to special revelation, but that is OFF-TOPIC.
"All the major religions agree"
No, all the major religions argue as to which deity science points to.
Most of the world's population also thought falsely the earth was flat. Most people have a god belief, no shit. I am telling you that is NOT because a god is real, it is because MOST humans are stuck in the past and traditions are hard to give up, nothing more. The real reason humans make up god beliefs is because false perceptions get handed down to the youth before they can formulate critical thinking skills. Our species prior to even written tradition GAP FILLED by projecting their own human qualities on the world arround them.
Popular is not an argument. The Egyptian gods were popular once. Apollo was popular once. Neither were real.
Now if anyone had anything you could LITERALLY DO THIS.
Muslim/Christian/Jew/Hindu/Buddhist/deist+neutral lab=neutral formula=peer review.
Dont fucking hand me any shit about most scientists agree. NO scientists who are religious DO NOT AGREE. To claim that is fucking bullshit.
HUMANS MAKE UP GODS and that gap filling is a PLACEBO, a reflection of their own human qualities, nothing more. It is a false perception. It is no different than a dog barking at it's own reflection in the mirror.
