Gravity would fail or only work intermittently. Gloves would come poorly paired. The weak force would overwhelm the strong force. It would just be a shit mess. Fortunately God has the dials set just right. We sure are lucky, huh?
What are the odds that the creator of the universe would be finely-tuned to create a universe perfect for us?
Given that we finely tune our interpretation of the characters in the bible stories, I'd say the probability is 1. (It's an inside job.)

There is such a thing as the occasional scientist who is also a YEC. John Lummox springs to mind. William Lane Crank also. Both are intelligent folks, but comprehensively dumb when it comes to religion.

No it wasn't.

8 hours, anyway.
The guy is struggling with the fact that his supposed killer argument simply isn't. It isn't killer and does not rise to the level of an actual argument.
Given that, he has to roll back and reformulate his borked argument, or seek further instruction from his pastor who tells him what to think.
On foot of that, we can expect three possibles.
1. Return and stamp his feet on his previous bullshit.
2. A hard right with a new argument provided by his pastor which he does not understand.
3. Nothing.
At this point even christian sites ban the guy, so what are we to make of that?
No Christian site or any other site aside from TTA has ever banned me.

Now, do you know why this one;s ridiculous? Assuming we do live in a designed universe..the particulars of this designed universe would have to -be- possible if the design itself were to be possible. If a universe like this one wasn;t possible before any notions of design are factored in, no amount of designing it would make it work.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

My point is you can't get a whole universe from nothing. A design is required.

Yeah, it's true. Members at TTA would ask me religious questions and I would explain and then I got banned for proselytizing....LOL. What a joke that was.

How do you know ?
Who is claiming the universe came from nothing, do you have any evidence to support the universe came from nothing ?
Why is design required ?

This seems like simply yet another falsehood you believe and peddle without reason or justification.

A design is required because you can't get something/everything from nothing. The universe had a beginning and is fine-tuned based on the most widely accepted scientific theories. It was designed.

I tried answering their questions. I wasn't just preaching to them. They were asking religious questions and then banned me for answering them. At least this place doesn't pull some BS like that.
