> George: since it makes a theistic interventionist god unlikely, because his every additional interference in the mechanism becomes ad hoc and pointless.-Only if Shane's version of God is the one the religions supply for him to make fun of.-I find his blog is lots of twisted logic, as philosophers like John Leslie ("Universes") would point out. And the intelligent design folks don't like theistic evolution for just the reasons the blog states. But they declare the universe was designed.-"However, in this little post I am going to take it as accepted that Fine Tuning is a real thing, however it is to be explained. And I am going to show that Christians who use the Fine Tuning Argument (FTA) are actually making a fundamental whopping error - they are undermining their own case substantially. By Christians, I mean those apologists who typically try to press the FTA into service as an argument for a personal God who intervenes in the world and impregnates virgins and sends his son to die for our sins and resurrects him and finds parking spots for believers and delivers nice weather for church barbecues. That sort of God. You know the type."-
His problem in this statement is he is presuming that Christian religions describe the true God. You see, I don't believe they can. I know I can't, but I am convinced there is a greater power. And fine tuning is one of my reasons. The dilemma I have is about intervention in evolution: either life and humans are coded from the beginning, or God had to intervene here and there. There is no way I can know which is correct. However, the evidence for design is so overwhelming I think there is a designer. Shane to the contrary.
