Theoretical physicists can quite easily design "toy" universes on the back of envelopes, and then see what the modified constants imply. That is where the figure comes from.
I can conceptualize species of elephant that come in any possible colour. There could have been pink, purple, red, orange, green, blue, indigo, maroon, off-white, lavender, elephants etc.
So I can take every possible colour and say the likelihood of elephants turning out grey was 1 in billions. Where it's just simply not correct....
Theoretical ideas does not equal fact, toy universes are not fact, they are concepts. Unless they are observed, we can not comment on their probability at all. As I said, it's very possible our "finely tuned" universe couldn't have turned out any other way.
See above. If other universes can exist as mathematical abstractions there is no reason to suppose that one of them might not have existed in reality.
Sure there is, abstract ideas gives no validity to their actual truth values. It doesn't mean they don't exist, however we have absolutely no reason to assume they do.
One does not for long have to listen to the new atheists to know that, for them, scientists are the high priests of the new atheism.
Give me a break.... If you truly believe that, then you're ignorant.
So to have those same scientists saying that the evidence can be construed as pointing to the existence of God was a bit embarrassing. After all, they are all the while asking for "evidence", safe (as they THINK) in the knowledge that none is to be had.
If God had any impact on the physical world, then there would be evidence of it. We are genuinely asking to see an argument that isn't full of fallacies, or actual observable evidence for your claims.
If you can provide that, I would be happy to accept your God Claim as sound. The fact nobody has been able to do that so far just shows those claims are unsound.
