Universe Engineering

[PD9]

Looking at the basic structure and makeup of subatomic particles and matter, elements and the molecular dynamics of the atom; I think the universe is fantastically well engineered just to be created from a point of singularity.

Fair enough the Big Bang is a well supported theory and the most comprehensive explanation for the development of the universe. Everything in this 'soup' has bonded together far too nicely in the first 13.75 billion years for my liking and it's got me thinking; Is there is more behind it? Something fishy goin' on out there...

So, what would make it not as "fishy" in your opinion?

[tank slapper]

Of course it bonds together nicely - if it didn't then the universe wouldn't exist as we know it. You could make that same point no matter how simple or complex the universe was, because as observed it would all fit together.

Its only this universe, in this time, and we only know it's fantastically engineered because we're here, otherwise it would just 'be'.

The balance between mass and energy could have been (has been/will be) slightly different and nothing as we know it would be here...

We are sat in a universe that is perfect for us to exist in because if it wasn't we wouldn't be sat here wondering how the universe came to be perfect for our existence.

Added to this the better the fit together of all the pieces the lower the requirement for a "Celestial Mechanic" to sit there and poke things right.

Read 'Irreligion' by Paulos, he has a good line on invoking a higher creator.

From memory I think he says something like "This creationist Ponzi scheme quickly leads to metaphysical bankruptcy."
