Belief In God Plummets Among Youth

[Free Thinker]

Quote from jcl:

I've always wondered why creationists come up with the "fine-tuning" argument anyway. After all, the idea that the universe was fine-tuned by some god for producing life is anti-creationist. It assumes that the universe is indeed 13.7 billion years old and life indeed was created by abiogenesis and evolution. Otherwise the "fine-tuning" would obviously not have been necessary.

its a fallback position. education has worked to the point where even most christians cant swallow the 6 day creation myth. still they have to find a way to rationalize their belief so they retreated to intelligent design.

"science is giving christians new and interesting gaps for them to cram their ever-diminishing god into – but the inevitable effect of that is to make the god they’re arguing for the nebulous existence of so far removed from the god of the bible as to make it a completely separate entity."

Exactly. Jem seems not to understand that he is arguing for Deism, not Christianity. LOL
