Fine Tuning Principle: Devastating Disproof and Scientific Refutation of Atheism.

I doubt that anyone can guarantee we're in charge of the other 5, either. If 5% is the optimistic scenario......

 Um, no. 6^64 is less than a googol (10^100) and not even comparable to a googolplex (10^googol).

To get to 1 in a googolplex, you would need to roll as many 20-sided dice as there are fundamental particles in the observable universe.

Thank you for the correction. 
My point stands. Highly unlikely single events happen all the time, and need no design.

Perhaps a better example is the specific arrangement of molecules in the air of a room.

To be more specific, divide the room into 100 distinct volumes, and count the number of ways molecules can be distributed over those smaller volumes. While this doesn't get up to a googolplex, it is far, far larger than a googol.

$  echo '6^64' | bc |  sed -e :a -e 's/\(.*[0-9]\)\([0-9]\{3\}\)/\1,\2/;ta'

63,340,286,662,973,277,706,162,286,946,811,886,609,896,461,828,096

So just under 10^50, or less than the square root of a googol.

BTW, cute script.

Weird Science. Good film.

Bananaman Ray Comfort called this piece blasphemous and immediately kicked me away from his flock of pigeons. I've never been prouder.

Oh, I remember when it came out. I just never saw it. I was too old.

Choice is selection, and snack machines make those too. Are snack machines free?
