Re kids with cancers and cold snaps - there's a VARIATION to systems, kind of like your bell shaped curve of Normal Distribution.
This is how everything, from quantum to biology to asteroids works.
We aint here for a long time, so be aware of that - a virus or an asteroid might get you. It's...
Takes far far longer than 5 million years to create the earth from 'nothing.' You need generations of stars to form the elements - and there's a few BILLION years there. But once under way the universe can create trillions of earths. But some things just don't happen by physical laws but by...
Sure, and we get that perfect season-creating angle, and a large moon (double planet) to stabilize that angle.
Kinda neat - the coincidences keep stacking up.
I don't know about these "fine tuned arguments" - there was a ton of violence to create this 'tuning.'
And time is required to create us. You need time for the expansion of the universe, time for the first generaton of hydrogen stars to create 'metals' and time for generations of metal stars to...
This is a natural event - the earth forming when the sun emerges. Happens all the time, literally.... every day I suppose.
This is something far weirder - something hitting the earth to form our seasons and give us a double planet system to stablize the earth's orbit.
Now something hit Uranus -...
That's dodging the question. We are talking about the universe, the sum total of all we know. You can't explain things outside of time and space because we can't comprehend such existance.
Again - there's 'fine tuning' and there's 'weird co-incidences.'
And the Biggest Question of all - how did the universe create itself when it didn't exist, and why.
How big was the Yucatan crater? Something like 180 miles? That's big.
Other big hits didn't generate such ecological damage - Yucatan threw tons of sulphur into the atmosphere as it struck a deposit of the stuff - half an hour later and this would have just been another big crater with some...
So, you think every planet shares the same orbit with a secondary large planet, and this planet will collide with the first planet and tilt it to 23.4 degrees to form seasons, and move to eliminate all super-sized carnivores so humans can evolve?
Two things happening here - one is the fine...
Because if you read the bible, and particularly Christianity, and the messenger is paramount - so too is the rejection of human thinking.
Take the SYMBOL of God's people, God's nation - Jews and Israel: a tiny people in a tiny land, of no great significance, easily dismissed, easily ridiculed...
A fine tuned universe will give us the earth, spinning on its axis (gravity, angular momentum etc..) but the earth's tilt needed something more than fine tuning.
It's a good argument, on the surface. Fine tuning gave us our earth - billions of earths get created. What is freakish is the odd things which happen to give us our seasons, loss of giant carnivores etc..
The error here is the number of times people get hit by cars,vs the number of times a giant asteroid hits the earth on the scale of the Yucatan meterorite.
It's not even one in a million, more like one in a thousand billion.
The asteroid hit a sulphur deposit in Yucatan. Otherwise the Cretaceous world would have survived, sort of.
So the asteroid needed to hit at the:
exact angle
exact spot (ie time of day)
exact season (spring, vulnerability)
Yes, there's this 'fine tuning' to give us our universe. And there's these freakish 'accidents' that augment this tuning. A 'tuned' earth still needs something to knock it off the axis that a tuned universe gave it.
Yes, it's super finely tuned. Adjust gravity just a bit and the universe as we know it simply won't work. Same with the other variables.
The 'work around' is to posit many universes with different variables - but this can't be tested so it isn't science.
Even something as simple as the moon's...
