Quote from harrytrader:
Instead of talking in general there is today the so called fine structure constant in Universe which is equal roughly to 1/137 (137 is coïncidently the Golden angle but Cosmologist don't refer to it by this name only by the "alpha constant" name) it is known that if this constant was different by only a slight billionth stars couldn't even exist SO the hypothesis that "HE" whatever or whoever "HE" is has FINE TUNED this constant because if "HE" didn't do so by his WILLINGNESS the Universe wouldn't just exist as it exists today: it would be emptiness. That you call "HE" God or Nature doesn't change the Essence of "HE" or the existence of a possible VOLONTARY DESIGN. The belief in a possible existence of a Designer is indeed an AGNOSTIC BELIEF which is founded on DETERMINISM in Scientific laws and more precisely the existence of apparently FINE TUNED CONSTANTS. There is another BELIEF which is that the existence of the FINE TUNED CONSTANTS by some SUPERIOR BEING or THING or CONCIOUSNESS may be an appearance if the Universe has been selected among many other POSSIBLE RANDOM UNIVERSES: this is called the "Multiverse" hypothesis which is indeed an ATHEIST hypothesis. But this "Multiverse" hypothesis is very recent and not yet widespread among the scientific community so at the moment of History in Science, the balance is more in favor of a DESIGNER if you don't like the term GOD but this DESIGNER has FINE TUNED the CONSTANTS OF UNIVERSE than in favor of a creation of our current Universe by several RANDOM ATTEMPTS so that our universe is just a happy ACCIDENT - but let's even suppose then someone may logically ask but who/what throw the dice then 
. As you can see the debate can be reduced as in Stock Market around the conflict between Determinism and Randomness. This problematic of FINE TUNED Constants of Universe and God can be illustrated by Richard Feynman's own words :
â[1/137] is one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to use with no understanding by man. <font color=red>You might say the âhand of <b>God</b>â wrote that number, and âwe donât know how He pushed His pencil.</font>â'
This is Scientology "atheist" "Multiverse" (Multiple Universes) theory, a true "revelation" to Mankind

OT III - Scientologys "secret" course rewritten for beginners
According to Scientology theory, we are all multiple personalities made up of hundreds of compacted extraterrestrial entities. We have reincarnated for 75 million years since this happened to us all. Scientology has claimed that this is a business trade secret...
There has been great controversy, and massive litigation, concerning the Scientology cults once secret "Operating Thetan Section Three Course". To save the brain strain of reading this purportedly lethal material in the original Ronspeak, and to save any danger of litigation for violation of copyright, this version is humbly tendered as a gift to mankind...
Scientologists believe that they have reincarnated from before the beginning of time. They believe that many interplanetary civilizations have existed. Hubbard restyled the spirit the "thetan". Before the beginning of time, thetans existed, separate from one another (thetans were not created they have existed for all time and indeed precede the creation of time). With the creation of energy and matter, thetans have gradually become trapped. The principal method of entrapment is through "implanting", where the thetan is hypnotised and given positive suggestions which limit its powers. This process, according to Hubbard has been going on in this universe for four quadrillion Years (4,000,000,000,000,000, rather than the mere 8-20,000,000 held by astrophysicists). However, <font color=red>this is just one universe in a series of several</font>.
Scientology seeks to return the thetan's power by stripping away implants and using drills to heighten extrasensory perception and ability. The goal of these procedures is an "operating thetan" - a being who can act independently of his physical body, and can cause physical events to occur through sheer force of will. The "operating thetan" would be capable of dismissing illness and psychological disorder in others at will.
The Scientologist generally undertakes hundreds of hours of preparation prior to taking the first section of the Operating Thetan level courses - OT 1 (a version of which is available on Karin Spainks homepage). OT 2 consists of over a hundred pages of handwritten lists of opposites, such as "create - create no". These are supposedly the basic positive suggestions from implants administered 75 million years ago. These implants were part of the so-called OT 3 incident.
According to Hubbard, 75 million years ago, there was a confederation of 76 planets, including Earth. The "Galactic Confederation" (the title comes from the science fiction of E.E. 'Doc' Smith), was ruled by Xenu (also called "Xemu" by Hubbard). Overpopulation had become a serious problem, which Xenu resolved by murdering many of the inhabitants of the Confederation. Hubbard estimated that the 76 planets averaged 178 billion people each. The people were killed and the thetans (or spirits) gathered, frozen in a mixture of glycol and alcohol, and brought to Earth where they were placed near volcanoes which were exploded with hydrogen bombs. The thetans were gathered on "electronic ribbons", packaged together as clusters and given 36 days of implanting, to render them servile and incapable of decision. A cluster is a collection of body thetans containing a leader and an "alternate" leader. The cluster conceives itself to be an individual. According to OT 3, everyone on Earth is in fact a collection of such clusters (Hubbard says that each person doing OT 3 will find "hundreds" of body thetans - many victims of this course believe that they find millions).
On OT 3, the individual finds "body thetans" by locating any sensation of pressure or mass in his or her body. This is addressed "telepathically" as a cluster, and taken through the cluster-making incident of 75 million years ago. Once this is done, the individual body thetans should be available to be taken through either the same incident or the incident of entry into this universe. This is called "incident one", and supposedly occured four quadrillion years ago. This incident is described in the materials as: "Loud snap - waves of light - chariot comes out, turns left and right - cherub comes out - blows horn, comes close - shattering series of snaps - cherub fades back (retreats) - blackness dumped on thetan." Most scientologists are unaware of the true definition of "cherub".
The Scientologist spends days or years dealing with "body thetans" (I have known two people who "audited" this procedure almost every day for eleven years). Scientology materials of different dates assert that at the end of OT 3 the individual will be "stably exterior" (from his body - out of his head, it might be rephrased), free from "overwhelm" (i.e., nothing will ever overwhelm him emotionally again), and have total recall of his entire round of incarnations from four quadrillion years ago to the present. Secret materials seen only by those selling the course give the "end phenomenon" as a "big win" urging that the person be put onto the next course - where they pay by the hour - quickly.
Anyone who encounters this material without having undertaken Scientology courses up to OT 2 will supposedly die from pneumonia.
OT 3 is of course in substantial disagreement with conventional geology. Geologists hold that almost all of the volcanoes listed by Hubbard and both Hawaii and Los Palmas came into being far more recently than 75 million years ago. On a simple point of logic, it seems strange that none of these volcanoes was damaged by the explosion of the hydrogen bombs. Hubbard was taking barbiturates and drinking heavily when he wrote this material, according to letters he wrote at the time which are kept from scientologists by the management of Scientology.
