Life developed by adapting to where it had to live.
The universe isn't finely tuned to support life on Earth, life on Earth has adapted to exploit the universe.
without someone coming along and accusing me of making bald assertions... it occured to me that peter had made a couple of assertions with, as far as i could tell, only his opinion to back them up... what if i change them, what if i stated as a truth claim (as he did):
God finely tuned the universe so that life would be possible on earth.
God created life on earth after having molded earth in such a way as to support that life.
