> dhw: Thank you. If the rest of the zillion solar systems were not finely tuned to allow for life on Earth, we are left with the problem of why your God created them, when apparently his aim in creating the universe was to produce us. It's a similar problem to that of the vast variety of earthly species, lifestyles and wonders (mainly extinct) which he apparently created in order to produce humans. It really doesn't seem logical to me.-Is God logical or purposeful? This universe is fine tuned for life. We are here. We are discussing. You are questioning how God did it, and I'm content with seeing why God did it. We come from two completely different viewpoints in the discussion.-
> dhw: Your response to that on Sunday was: “God and Occam are not compatible. Human reasoning and Occam are compatible. Why do you think God thinks like you do?” Is it not possible, in your view, that your God and Occam ARE compatible, and that these inexplicable inconsistencies are due to the fact that your reading of your God's mind might be wrong?-My only reading of God's mind is looking at His purpose. I frankly don't understand his methodology.
