If it can be, how can the "Absence of Evidence" be "Evidence of Absence?".

No, GR explains precisely why gravitation behaves the way it does. GR lies at a much deeper level than simple gravitation. Furthermore, GR fits into a even deeper framework of the nature of reality, when seen together with the other quantum fields. What Peg wrote in the context of gravity is complete, although oft-repeated, nonsense.

Just about everyone in the field, including Paul and Stephen, are fully aware that a multiverse scenario is somehwere between a distinct possibility and an almost certainty: from the exceptionally generic string landscape, through chaotic/eternal inflation, bubble-nucleation, and even just plain old boring classic inflation (where the multiverse is simply the vast multiplicity of observable-universe-sized volumes of the hyper-sized universe.) Fine-tuning is a thing of the past. Barrow and Tipler's CAP is over twenty years old, and was a good read in the late eighties - now it's all a bit tired.

EMA, when you get to the point of actually understanding 1% of what we are talking about, get back to me. 'Till then, stick to your talking snakes - it's more your level.

Nice try I was an evangelical christian for over twenty years - I have been an evangelist, worship leader, amateur preacher, and apologist. I could quote you Josh McDowell verbatim on just about any issue. Gives me quite a good perspective on things...

That is because you do not understand it Complete nonsense. For all my time as a professional physicist, I was an evangelical Christian. It has nothing to do with theism/atheism. It has to do with knowing what you are talking about.

The Cosmological Constant is actually a very good example of fine tuning - we do need a reason why it has the value it takes, and much study has been made in this area. There are various potential mechanisms and of course the standard multi-verse possibility. But it does need addressing. Umpteen parameters that are necessary for life on Earth are finely tuned, and the fine tuning is kindly provided by the multiverse of planets and stars that make up the Universe.
