On this episode we wrap up our journey and determine the best answer for how the universe could be so finely tuned for life.  God’s intimate plan for you is on display.  He loves you! “The [anthropic-design argument] and what it points to is of such an order of certainty that in any other sphere of science, it would be regarded as settled.  To insist otherwise is like insisting that Shakespeare was not written by Shakespeare because it might have been written by a billion monkeys sitting at a billion keyboards typing for a billion years.  So it might.  But the sight of scientific atheists clutching at such desperate straws has put new spring in the step of theists.”  Longley, C. (1989). Focusing on Theism. London Times, 10. “A common-sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super-intellect has monkeyed with the physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature.  The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put the conclusion almost beyond question.”  Hoyle, The Universe: Past and Present Reflections, 1982 “If all the evidence in the universe turned in favor of creationism, I would be the first to admit it, and I would immediately change my mind.  As things stand, however, all available evidence (and there is a vast amount of it) favors evolution.  It is for this reason and this reason alone that I argue for evolution with a passion that matches the passion of those who argue against it.  My passion is based on evidence.  Theirs, flying in the face of evidence as it does, is truly fundamentalist.”  Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, 2006
