> dhw: The universe obviously allows life on this planet in this solar system. I don't know how you can tell that all the other solar systems that have come and gone over the last 13,800,000,000 years - not to mention the eternity that may have preceded the Big Bang (if it ever happened) - were also finely tuned to allow for the one and only life we know, which is ours.-Hard to imagine this is the only time it happened.-> DAVID: A good agnostic appeal to infinities! Nice refuge.

> dhw; A refuge from what? There is no default position here. “Just as well”...denotes equal degrees of improbability.-But you just introduced an infinity of possibilities.
