I am not "confused" the answer is quite evident, but men is their "wisdom" refuse to believe it. The answers to the article are found here:

"The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.

Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat." (Psalm 19:1 -1 6)

For He (The Lord Jesus Christ) rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

And He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

For BY HIM ALL THINGS were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and INVISIBLE, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.

He is before all things, and in Him all things HOLD TOGETHER." (Colossians 1:13 - 17 Emphasis mine)

The Lord Jesus Christ created it all and He is the superglue, the mysterious force that is holding it all together.

That is the answer plain and simple and God even gave it to us!

But men in their pride refues to believe, note the statement in the article:

Then there is the "fine-tuning" problem. The universe appears marvelously constructed to produce stars, planets, and life. Scientists have calculated that if the force binding atomic nuclei were just 0.5 percent different, the processes that forge atoms inside stars would have failed to produce either carbon or oxygen--key ingredients for life. If gravity were only slightly stronger or weaker, stars like our sun could not have formed. Yet physicists see no reason why the constants of nature are set just so.

To some, this is all good news. Perhaps, as many religious people say, God exists and wanted it this way--case closed. For many scientists, who try to avoid supernatural explanations, the accumulation of mysteries merely signals that the time is right for a breakthrough.

How sad, the answer is right in front of their face, but becaue they refuse to add God to their equasion, they are left looking for some unknown, mysterious "breakthrough".

The following scripture is so appropriate to this situation it is enough to bring one to tears.:

19For it is written,

“I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE,

AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE.”

20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made FOOLISH the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world THROUGH IT’S WISDOM DID NOT COME TO KNOW GOD, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for WISDOM; 23but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles FOOLISHNESS, 24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is WISER than men, and the weakness of God is STRONGER than men.

26For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to SHAME the wise, and God has chosen the WEAK things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, 29so that no man may boast before God. 30But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, 31so that, just as it is written, “LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.” (1Corinthians 1:19 – 31 Emphasis mine)

That's what the underachievers always say to the honor students...
