  2. Maybe I can dumb it down for you. Either the Complete Works of Shakespeare was written by Shakespeare or it was a fluke, the eventual product of monkeys typing random characters until one got it exactly right.

    How would we know it's "exactly right" without a previous copy to compare it to?

    duh.


    Science says no such thing.
    Science is observing a fundamental constant having different values across the universe.

    So logic says your irrational creationist idea that so called fine tuning needs a tuner , only for the reason that you want one merely for a bunch of weird personal motives, no longer even makes it to ridiculous.

    So we strip religion away from everyone and become what, atheists? The kind of person who would take a source of comfort away from billions?

  6. do you have something against dealing with reality? knowledge should always trump superstition.
    how about secular humanism? it allows a stated goal that includes intellectual honesty:
    Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.


    Justin Brown: An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished

    after I have provided you with papers from MIT, quotes from multiple noble prize winners, excerpts from books, explanations about the cosmological constant and a video of atheist pied piper Dawkins admitting scientists have trouble explaining the fine tunings of our universe...

    you think Scientists are observing the constants changing in our Universe.

    Really?

    Cosmological Constant - changing?

    I was wrong you are not a troll.

    Knowledge of what, that at any instant you could be torn in half or crushed in a car, dissolved by cancer or punctured by a bullet, keel over from a heart attack or, worse, have a vegetizing stroke, and so be removed from this world, you, who are the face in the mirror, a conscious being who cherishes life, whose dreams can span the universe, destroyed for all time, forgotten, and the meaning of it all is: absolutely nothing? Is that the reality you want people to face, nakedly?

  9. what you may need, feel or desire has no effect on reality. it is up to you to come to terms with the reality that we all face.

    You're wrong about that. The fear of all that I mentioned and more is precisely what has been driving human history. You are inextricably immersed in a reality created by strong emotion.
