Save your insults for that morning shave in front of the mirror.

Prof. Brimley's comment, far from an insult, is the most cogent comment on fine-tuning arguments ever uttered by human tongue. The world isn't "just right" for us: we are right for the world, because evolution has naturally shaped us to conform to it. We are so in tune with the properties of our world that they look like prerequisites.

Your problem seems to be with free speech/thought.

Odd for someone who hangs around a message board.

There are a couple of problems with that.

Of all the creatures on earth, man is the most unadapted: he is neither fleet nor massive; he is not armored against the elements nor is he comfortable in repose except in lush meadow; he cannot leap above the slithering threats of the jungle or outrun the winds of the desert sky; he is morose, irritable and totally out-of-sorts in solitude and an outright bore in poor company; he is never satisfied save for a full belly and an empty groin and he just will never leave anything alone, no matter how good it may seem to another.
