Fine-tuned universe?

Richard Carrier talks about our supposed fine-tuned universe. Specifically, Lee Smolin's hypothesis.

I personally don't buy it because if violates Occam's Razor but who knows.

a by product of black hole production. I was looking for an example of the Sagan principle of mediocrity and your concept sounds like it.

@CrubbDaTubb You do realize that calling someone gay is only really an insult for homophobes and children, right? Also, threatening someone with the idea of hell loses much of its oomph to someone who doesn't believe it even exists, and all it does is show you to be a petty, vile person who enjoys thinking of those they disagree with being tortured forever.

[CrubbDaTubb]

@ArcanaKnight you must repent your gay ways or you will burn in Hell, forever in Hell

[CrubbDaTubb]

@ArcanaKnight Let me pray for you. I will pray that you stop being a homersexule so that you don't burn in Hell

[ArcanaKnight]

@CrubbDaTubb My, aren't you a Good Christian™. When confronted with the fact that you didn't even get statements about the faith you profess to believe in correct, you immediately resort to wishing eternal torture upon the one who pointed out your error. Truly a paragon of the community.

@ArcanaKnight Burn in Hell

[ArcanaKnight]

@CrubbDaTubb That's not even right according to christian mythology, let alone what's factually true.

[CrubbDaTubb]

Jesus said, let there be the earth and there was an earth and the Jesus said let there be a son and he was the son of god so therefore Jesus exists. We all love Jesus. Don't burn in hell forever in hell or if yes then do but Jesus is the light of love and lives not in a zoo but in all of us and in you and me

If you want to debate me why don't you invite me to any board of your choosing so a proper debate can take place, in which you must provide and answer to ALL references.

In that forum your illogical emotional rants will not be accepted as a response. You will have to answer to peer reviewed articles that refute every one of your claims. There is not near enough room here to post references.

What tells me your method of debate is short emotional rants with no data?

And I suggest you study the UCE. they destroy your theory. These are long stretches of DNA that CANT NOT evolve. Atheistic evolution requires ALL elements to change or evolution from chemical reactions can never take place. The conserved elements falsify your theory of evolution

"These ultra-conserved elements are long, they evolved rather rapidly, and they are now evolutionarily frozen. We don't know of a biomolecular mechanism that would explain them," Professor David Haussler
