Sarah, it is a very detailed and immense amount of information. Please take it upon yourself to research it.

I am not near my computer so I can't give you links right now. Sorry.

-_- is the only response I have I guess for that last bit

Just for clarity (and I assume you mean Paul Davies), Davies is not a fan of ID and he has his own take on ID and fine tuning.
Physicist Paul Davies has asserted that "There is now broad agreement among physicists and cosmologists that the Universe is in several respects ‘fine-tuned' for life". However, he continues, "the conclusion is not so much that the Universe is fine-tuned for life; rather it is fine-tuned for the building blocks and environments that life requires."
Fine-tuned Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That is, at least to me, means that he feels fine tuning as not necessarily indicating intelligent design.

Looking at his Wiki page, the idea of a fine tuned universe does not seem to be one of his major interests so using him as an advocate for fine tuning for life is probably not the best choice.
Paul Davies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What we may be looking at is fine tuning "coincidences" where the fine tuning so to speak is just a function of how the universe was set up and we are here to discuss it.

I cannot see where God had to design the universe where we could easily understand it and it looks very much like he didn't.

Just some thoughts

To tie in to matters that I am generally well informed of, does this fine tuning apply to matters of biology as well?

In a round about way. Directly only in that certain conditions were necessary for life to evolve as it did. There are factors that are included in the fine tuning that would have prohibited life as we know it existing and in fact of the universe as well.

In hindsight our existence seems unlikely, but you have to understand that in succession, certain events can make some of the possible future ones more likely.

The evasion we typically see from this poster, would make a politician blush.

I've made my claim, Davian was asked to articulate what he thought the claim was. He claims he provided that in the thread. So each of us have stated we have provided the information needed. It doesn't surprise me that you feel the fault lies with me.

Indeed. If she only put as much effort into substantiating her own claims as she does looking for faults in others.

Well, the track record is well established and it is what it is at this point.

What gets me, is the enormous effort to avoid simple questions. You ask her a direct question and she responds with a question and then claims you didn't answer hers. Very tough to respect that type of behavior.

Amazing amount of self rationalization going on.

Your only point of being here is to make snide remarks about others. Hardly stellar on your part.
