The Universe Really Is Fine-Tuned, And Our Existence Is The Proof [300 word excerpts of an over 2,600Ph article]
Forbes.com ^ | Dec 19, 2019, | Ethan Siegel

The Universe is electrically neutral, with one electron to cancel out the charge of every proton in the Universe, and the nuclear forces are extremely short-range, failing to extend beyond the scale of an atomic nucleus.

When it comes to the Universe as a whole, only gravitation matters. The Universe expands at the rate it does throughout its history — and not at a different one — for two reasons alone: our laws of gravity and all the forms of energy that exist in the Universe. If things were slightly different from how they actually are, we wouldn't exist. Here's the science of why. ... Imagine that you came upon a thin, tall, rocky spire here on planet Earth. If you were to place another large rock atop this spire, you would expect it would topple over....When we do find the proverbial boulder balanced in unstable equilibrium, we talk about there being a fine-tuning problem

If we come back to the expanding Universe, that's the situation we find ourselves in: the Universe appears to be enormously fine-tuned.

On the one hand, we have the expansion rate that the Universe had initially, close to the Big Bang. On the other hand, we have the sum total of all the forms of matter and energy that existed at that early time as well, including:

radiation, neutrinos, normal matter, dark matter, antimatter, and dark energy.

A Universe with too much matter-and-energy for its expansion rate will recollapse in short order; a Universe with too little will expand into oblivion before it's possible to even form atoms. Yet not only has our Universe neither recollapsed nor failed to yield atoms, but even today, some 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, those two sides of the equation appear to be perfectly in balance.....

The universe existed before the big bang in the form of a plasma.

come from ?

see, your ilk always dodge the origin and skip to step 2

‘ where did the “ a plasma “

It always existed outside of space and time?

Yeah, that’s it.

—> Not if his creator created him.

If he was created, he wasn’t God.
