Physicists speak of "The appearance of fine tuning". Some physicists argue
that small changes in the certain values of fundamental particles and forces would render a universe completely unlike the one we see and there fore incapable of sustaining life. Ergo, a Creator is responsible for our "finely tuned universe". However, this of course is speculative and not at all subject to testing, at least not at the present moment. We can't change the fundamental values and see what type of universe that would reveal. Perhaps a universe capable of intelligent life could exist under many variations of the values of the fundamental particles and forces . But Jem takes the initial argument at face value. Why? Because it supports his predisposition toward belief in god.
It's simply another argument for the existence and primacy of God designed to seduce the current audience. Every culture and time in history has had a unprovable creation and Creator mythology championed by its ardent acolytes, and now contemporary America does as well.
God "fine tuned" the universe so we could emerge. God must really be great.
