Post #2232, not stop obfuscating. What physical causation do you have to show correlating with your claim?
You haven't shown me that we need to demonstrate the causation with data. You haven't shown for instance causation for gravity with its data.

I already have. What causes gravity is irrelevant. What is relevant in determining correlation is what gravity influences. Now addressing your claim, what physical causation do you have.

You are not stating what numbers are differing by 100 order of magnitude and what consensus you are referring to.
Numbers come from your sources. The attempt at providing a consensus comes from the same posts. I don't see how this is difficult to understand. What are you missing?

2. No, it is in the index of the book if you wish to have it. It was written in 1997 I believe so if the math was incorrect it would have been shown to be by peer review.

TIL that books are peer-reviewed for decades after they are written...

I know they come from my sources. They are numbers on probabilities of different features.

Fine tuning.
Look, enough silliness. I have spent an entire professional career doing statistical analysis and correlations as a research chemist and process engineer. I know what I'm talking about. If you don't want to answer my question just say so and I won't pursue it any further.

This is not silly. You haven't shown how we need to demonstrate the causation with data and as I've shown we don't know the causation for gravity or other forces in nature.

God fine-tuned this earth to be inhabited.

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Either that, or The earth came into existence fine tuned.

Yeah, one of his other books seemed to promote a one universe at a time model. He was writing the book with another person though, so that might be the difference.
