It makes it possible for you to embrace big bangs and evolution and absolutely anything else science may uncover as evidence of god's fine tuning. -I don't buy the God of religion. I think the evidence from science is that there is a universal intelligence, that religions call God. All of my reasoning has started from science, not the Bible. But I do accept the statement in the Bible that we are made in God's image, in that we have intellect which is a tiny part of the universal intelligence. I believe that the universal intelligence is both within and without our universe, which makes me a panentheist. My reasoning here is that the Big Bang came from nothing, but there has to be a First Cause, and I am a strong Thomist in this regard.
