And, more to the point, any life that didn't fit around this universe's laws/"fine-tuning" wouldn't have survived long enough for us to encounter...
That's assuming we're meant to be here at all. I'm considering the possibility that we're a mistake that's damn lucky to live in a skanky lab...
Well, if it is the great all. But then, if it is, we still have no point of comparison. The universe runs how it runs, but to assume that it's...
Well no, that was my point. It seems to fit together well because it's all we know. If there was one big thing "wrong" with the laws of physics,...
Better the devil you know, dudette.
Well I'm hardly claiming to have read it cover to cover. But the general principle of "you worshipped someone else, you're bad, die motherfucker...

Aww, that's rather sweet of you.
Depends; do you mean atheism as in "there is no god", or atheism as in "there probably is no god"? I'd agree that the first one requires...
It's not inherently a religion, any more than a belief in an unspecified god/creator is inherently a religion. To my mind, a religion is a belief...
Aww, that's disappointing :( Well yeah. I dunno, to be honest I was talking more about physics than biology. We know that there's a fair...
