Do you have any evidence that you would like to put up that refutes Dr. Gonzalez/Townes position? It seems to me, the more we learn, the more we come to realize that we truly do live on a privileged planet.
I wasn't disputing their position which is based on an assumption formed around evidence collected from this one small speck in space. I am disputing the rationality and limited vision they rest their position on. A being living on a planet orbiting a red dwarf sun, and knew no other place, would come to the same conclusions. "How amazing that all the life there is can only exist under these specific conditions!" That is, they would come to those conclusions provided that they felt self-satisfied that the life forms they knew were the only kinds possible and never considered that life, the universe and everything might be far more complex and more far reaching than they have the capacity to imagine.
How is it that someone who believes in an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful God finds it so easy to fall in with the tightly limited views of men who bandy about assumptions like they were speaking of physical laws? When you step into the purely theoretical either everything is possible or you are pushing a personal agenda.
