The odds of the universe being as it is, so delicately balanced as to allow life on Earth to have reached the human condition are one in 10¹²⁰. I'm sure you see the absurdity of resting your case for denying a designer/creator upon such a long shot as 10¹²⁰.

That “delicate balance” isn't really so delicate, and life isn't really so fragile. Rather, earth's conditions fall within the broad range that is conducive to the resiliently adaptive thing we currently classify as life.

Where did you get this math?
IMO, it took many variables for this complex universe to exist as it does.

Too bad I missed this thread last night. I’d have enjoyed participating as it developed.

But, to your observations, I’m not so certain this is as meaningful as it might seem at first blush. Had the universe not been so delicately balanced as to allow life on Earth to have reached the human condition, we wouldn’t be here to observe it. So, it’s a sword that cuts both ways.

I believe in Creation, and believe the perfection of it is one of the many markers of divinity in our physical existence. But, life arising in conditions that encourage it is not, in itself, solely indicative of this.
