I’m not sure I see the philosophical (or even phenomenological) impetus for the suggestion that we should be in any way surprised or otherwise intellectually moved by the observation that we live in an life-conducive universe. Such an idea is fundamentally rooted in the presumption that the constitution of universes is somehow “intrinsically improbable” for the creation of and preservation of life. But upon what basis is such a claim made? As I pointed out in my previous post, there is nothing apart from our experience of a universe-conducive-to-life that we might compare our universe in the estimation of “intrinsic probabilities.” Therefore, the self-referential calculation about the probability of our own universe being conducive to life is not only fundamentally tautological, but is moreover based on a very limited set of data. The “intrinsic probability” of our universe being such that is is conducive to life is calculated from our quite limited understanding of what universes are like. Yet perhaps with time and research we will learn, in fact, that the “intrinsic probability” of life forming within universes is not only quite high, but necessarily assumed in all but the most extreme cases. The point, of course, is not to argue that the universe is or isn’t intrinsically suited for life. There’s no way to know such a thing, and apart from the philosophically tenuous notion of somehow coming into knowledge of “other” universes, I see no methodologically sound way to even approach the question. Rather, my suggestion is simply that to try find “design” in a closed, ultimately self-referential system of knowledge leads inevitably to an abortive “God-of-the-gaps” conclusion. As scientific knowledge evolves, things that appeared “improbable” or “impossible” or “miraculous” from one philosophical perspective may from another be easily explained on the basis of physicalism alone. I do not see that it is wise for religious thinking to try to establish itself in a domain in which it is necessarily alien. As the intervention of the divine within the universe is categorically not explicable on the basis of materialism (the domain in which human epistemology operates), no permanent gains could ever be made, and only long term harm can result.If one believes that God created the universe (which I do), good and well. However, the moment that one seeks to establish this movement of faith within the realm of the material, one has necessarily jettisoned the true crisis of belief, exchanging it for whatever paltry “truths” one might be able to assert within the current philosophical hegemony, which “truths” will inevitably be rejected when new ways of thinking about and experiencing the universe are devised.
