I first encountered the “fine tuning” argument, which sounds REALLY similar, after reading Dawkins’s “Climbing Mount Improbable.” No joke, that book pushed me from being agnostic into being a theist. I’m a Christian now, but that book was a HUGE step for me. It was kind of the ultimate steel man argument, but without the pushing over bit…

I'm a stats guy. When looking into the Fermi paradox there was a "rare earth" explanation. It really went deep into the math of how impossible our existence is. So is there a god? It's just as likely that there is as there isn't and we had to come from somewhere.

Do you believe in God?

Yes. I'm not sure if what other people believe God *is* is what I believe God *is*, especially because the defining characteristic of God for me is that God can't be known in precise, scientific ways, but they are at least similar.
