Unseen replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"In furthering of your arguments:
1. The fact that in an obscure corner of a rather undistinguished galaxy life exists hardly argues for an entire universe finely tuned for mankind.
2. I don't know why theists go straight for the notion that…"
onyango makagutu replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"1. fine tuning- has he tried living on a different planet or universe for that matter to show that this is fine tuned? Is it not enough to know we are here and that is it?
2.It is philosophical suicide to come from the universe having a beginning to…"

archaeopteryx replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"1. The universe is not, "finely tuned for the existence of intelligent life" - the universe simply IS, and intelligent life, as well as some not-so-intelligent life has simply adapted to the conditions under which it found itself.

Gallup's Mirror replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"Imagine taking a bite of a delicious cold plum. Now imagine taking a bite of the roadkill deer you found last July pavement, burst open, entrails hanging out, and squirming with maggots.
Concepts of disgust and beauty are survival mechanisms: seek…"
Obfuskation replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"I read half a dozen replies there, and my head started to hurt. Maybe I'll make an account."
Unseen replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"I found the original source by using a unique phrase from the quoted posting. The original is here."
Obfuskation replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"I understand that, and wouldn't have brought it up if he had only stayed with;

1- Did 'the guy' just regurgitate these from a different 'christian forum'? (thus my post)
2-…"
Unseen replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"The very fact that there is "somethingness" argues against the idea there was ever "nothingness.""
Donald S. Chase replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"The universe was created from nothing. Impossible. Nothingness is impossible because there would have to be something there to say (show) that there was nothing there."
Sagacious Hawk replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"I think you got the wrong impression on that. The Original Poster is asking our opinion on how to respond to something he read somewhere else. The quoted text is form the other site."
Kris Feenstra replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'""Empirical evidence is the best thing to use in dialogue with an atheist or an agnostic."

Dale Headley replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"My goodness, where to start?

It will be hard for me to…"
jared manley replied to Daniel Patrick Day's discussion '"Top Arguments for the Science Minded"'"I wonder who wrote this. It reminds me of a vid I watched recently.
