[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 77437408, member: 375234"] While the presumably random large asteroid (or comet) of 66M years ago was 'just right', I hear you that you are raising instead the broader question of perfect fine tuning in general. To which one should only respond: "Yes, of course" -- it's simply the observer effect of the [I]anthropic principle[/I]: we are naturally the outcome of [I]this [/I]particular Universe, etc. (for those interested, "anthropic principle" has of course a wiki entry, and as usual the summary intro paragraph is adequate) It's not possible to conclude from this fact of the perfection of this Universe/Earth for us as a species of life that either that God [I]does [/I]or [I]does not[/I] exist, of course. (if that's not already clear, just think on it a minute more carefully) God would not be so incompetent as to allow such a easy way (merely observing the fact of Him existing) to allow a go-around, an avoiding of first responding or already embracing (as He requires) what Christ taught -- His teachings as the particular [I]way[/I], the doorway to salvation.... So, we will always have no conclusive evidence either way about God existing....[I]until [/I]we listen to Christ and embrace/accept/want to have the particular way that Christ taught (God's "way") -- to 'believe' in Him (to 'believe' someone means we believe in what they are saying....). Christ taught that we should love all people around us, not only some we preferred... He taught us that only God has this perfection, and we need it, and though we cannot do this on our own, with God we can become as we should be, through His [I]Way[/I]. Which Christ Himself [I]is [/I]that Way. [I]For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.[/I] [/QUOTE]
