4/4 – Love is patient and kind, but it is also firm and unyielding in truth. Love does not tolerate lies that lead to death. Love speaks truth, even when the world hates it. (Gal 4:16)

3/4 – A doctor who ignores a fatal disease isn’t loving. A parent who never corrects a child isn’t loving. True love warns, corrects, and guides toward truth. (Heb 12:6)

2/4 – Jesus loved sinners, but He never affirmed their sin. He called them to repentance, because love seeks the highest good for others—even when it's uncomfortable. (John 8:11)

But your argument can also be applied to my hypothetical d6 roll. You cannot say that there was a 1 in 6 chance of my result because you presupposed that the die existed. Therefore 1 in 6 is not evidence. Not because of math, physics, or logic it is your belief that invalidates it.

So he presupposed that there is no creator but came to the conclusion that some force had to create the universe and keep it functioning. He was not a theist or even a deist. He believed that the natural laws were designed though to allow life to exist in the universe.

The reason he did this, was he wanted to make the universe infinite. Because he wanted it to fit his atheist worldview, and he knew instinctively that the probability of life arising from randomness was so low that it would not happen given any restraints of time. Infinite magically solved that.

Your note appears to have an absurd non-sequitur. If you presuppose a target-setter then it implies purpose, therefore the conclusion is presupposed into the argument. So, let's take the real world example of Einstein. His self-reported great failure was purposely altered his cosmological constant.

3/3 Don’t just hear the Word—do it. Follow the examples of faithfulness, apply what you’ve learned, and trust that His peace will guard you. Live what you believe!

2/3 When we live out the truth of God’s Word, we align ourselves with His will, and the God of peace is with us. Obedience brings His presence into our daily walk.

Wasn't your argument that you cannot determine the probability of something that only happens once? So, how can there have been a 1 in 6 chance?

I roll a d6. It comes up X. I say that there is a 1 in 6 chance of X having happened.
Your argument is if there was only one toss of the die ever in history. Then I am wrong?

3/3 Do not stay silent. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation. Be a faithful witness, speaking truth in love. The world needs the hope that only Christ offers. Will you share it today?

2/3 The world seeks solutions in wealth, power, and knowledge, but only Jesus provides true salvation. As His followers, we must carry His message with boldness, knowing that eternal life is at stake.

3/3 If you feel powerless, pray for your heart to be enlightened. God has called you to hope, to purpose, and to His mighty strength. Walk in it today!

2/3 This power isn’t just an idea; it’s the same power that raised Christ from the dead. It strengthens the weak, emboldens the fearful, and gives clarity to the lost.

10/ "If you reject probability in cosmology, you must also reject it in evolutionary biology, abiogenesis, and naturalism's own explanations. You can't selectively dismiss probability when it challenges your worldview."

9/ "If an event is contingent (not necessary), its probability is meaningful. The fine-tuning argument is based on this: that the constants could have been different. Dismissing probability assumes determinism, which needs justification."

8/ "Your argument confuses epistemic uncertainty (what we don’t know) with ontological randomness (how reality works). Lack of knowledge about all possibilities doesn’t mean probability doesn’t apply—it means we assess based on what we do know."

7/ "If life-permitting conditions are rare among possible universes, then our existence is improbable unless explained by necessity or design. Since necessity has not been demonstrated, design remains a valid explanation."

6/ "If you claim that the universe had to be this way, then you deny randomness, which contradicts the atheistic position. If the universe could have been different, then probability applies, and fine-tuning becomes a valid discussion."

5/ "Probability is not about direct repetition but counterfactual possibilities. We don’t need multiple universes to assess likelihood—just knowledge of what parameters allow or forbid certain outcomes. This is why fine-tuning is a valid inference."
