Speak for yourself-you asked a question about others, I answered and you ignored it.If you don't want to hear what others have to say, don't ask.
Again, what's with the attitude? The OP regards the fine-tuning problem and the theological inference of the strong anthropic principle. The universe's physical constants and initial conditions are not contingent on the laws of physics. The odds of them being what they are for the first and only universe to have ever existed by sheer chance are astronomically improbable! The issue of the universe's physical constants and initial conditions have absolutely nothing to do with the occurrence or adaptation of life to the conditions of the extant universe as GMS, an atheist, stupidly thinks. He doesn't grasp the scientific issue at all, let alone the theological issue. Once again, from the OP:
[T]he finely tuned argument does not go to the occurrence or evolution of life in any given habitable environment after the fact; it goes to the apparent fact that the astronomical structures and systems, and the elemental diversity that are necessary for any kind of life at all to occur or evolve wouldn't exist in the first place if any one of the physical constants or initial conditions were significantly different in this universe or in any other. Indeed, according to the standard model, if the strength of the cosmic inflation of the Big Bang had varied by 1 part in 10^60 the universe would have never reached the expansion phase at all, but would have collapsed back onto itself faster than you can say lickety-split!
Presumably, you're a theist! What problem could you possibly have with that observation? In any event, you're the one who brought up the issue of knowing God's mind, and all I told you in that wise is that we can know those contents of his mind that he has shared with us. To which you hysterically respond: "YOU flippin arrogant bastard! you are saying you ARE God if you know God's mind."
LOL
As I told Breezewood, this is what I'm talking about:
[T]he fundamental laws of logic—the law of identity, the law of noncontradiction, the law of the excluded middle—as well as the principle of sufficient reason, which is sometimes referred to as the fourth fundamental law of logic—because of x, y; symbolically, x —> y—are, collectively, the eternal, uncreated logic of God bestowed on us. Behold the logical imperatives of God's mind! And the first principles of ontology and epistemology immediately extrapolated by those who bring them to bear on the problems of being, morality and truth? These are also the contents of God's mind!
