dhw: [...a lump of rock floating around in space] exists and acts without intelligence. Multiply this example a zillion times, and you have a universe doing the same.-DAVID: Can't let this pass. This universe exists as a precisely organized construct which evolved finely tuned to allow life.-dhw: The universe obviously allows life on this planet in this solar system. I don't know how you can tell that all the other solar systems that have come and gone over the last 13,800,000,000 years [...] were also finely tuned to allow for the one and only life we know, which is ours.[...]-DAVID: I believe in purpose. Things appearing for no reason implies chance. We are too special for chance. We are sentient beings trying to explain why and how we are here. There is only chance or design.-In the context of life of Earth, I have always understood and appreciated your argument for design. Is it then part of your belief that every single solar system, past and present, in the history of our universe was and is finely tuned to allow for life on Earth?
