Probability and the fine tuning argument?

Question

Actually the probability of yours or my existence can be use against the fine tuning argument. ex. A specific human like me come about and type this exact paragraph is as astronomical impossible as the fine tuning argument claims: If you account for the probability of my parents being born, then they married, then out of the 100 million sperm I came out, then I learned to speak English, then the internet/computer was developed within the timeline of my life span, then I went to Y!A, then I finally type this exact paragraph. How unlikely is that?.....but it happened.

This kind of reasoning turns the assumption that our universe is something free to have a wider range of physical laws than it currently have.

So the question is, are we lucky to have this universe or what?

Answer 1

Lucky yes but the problem with that argument is that if you did not write this you would have done something else. The odds for that something else are just as small.

The point is that yes the odds are infinity to one but there was also infinite possibilities. Nothing happening wasn't an option so because SOMETHING happened any instance of SOMETHING is going to have miniscule odds.

Infinity / Infinity = 1

Answer 2

i believe we are here, on this planet, in this solar system by coincidence. our very existance isn't relative to the universe as a whole. we are beyond miniscule. the intelligents we have a humans helps us survive, and multiply. just like the little red blood cells floating around in our bodies. they have a function, and are rather complex, but they have no idea that they are just a small part of a much larger being in which they live in.

Answer 3

i think that the positive-tuning argument relies on an exceedingly shaky premise: "something finely tuned ought to have been made that way from exterior". it might make a lot extra sense if we get out of Western dualistic thinking, and think of on the subject of the possibility that everybody and each thing interior the universe grow to be an element, edge, or incarnation of God/Brahman/Allah/Tao/spirit or in spite of we ought to call Him/Her/It. the belief of god "dancing" the international from interior, incredibly than ruling from devoid of - and of count/spirit unfolding organically as one unified technique. God is in many situations defined as endless. To me, which means by definition, God has to embody everybody and each thing; to be separate might contradict the definition "endless".

Answer 4

We are probably lucky to have this universe, with the particular properties that it has, but after that everything is very likely or even inevitable.

Answer 5

The universe, yes. Having the karma to be reborn in a world w/ so much hatred, strife and suffering... I'm taking refuge.
