Darwin Unhinged: The Bugs in Evolution

Isn't the very use of the term "tuning" suggestive of an active agent?

I realize there are physicists in materialist evangelical camp trying to figure out a way around this, but given the number of times the Multiverse has been raised [as] an excuse I get the feeling the public is less & less convinced by the claim "Nothing to see here folks!".

Of course now some are bringing in the Simulation Hypothesis, which is either a sign of desperation or the first step toward re-accepting ideas found within the Perennial Wisdom.

"Tuning". "Design". Whichever we use we are saying the same thing: from the largest to the microscopic there is evidence of intelligence at work. No surprise to me that the fine tuning of the cosmos can be seen reflected in biology. It can also be seen in the ecosystem of this planet. The way the weather systems, the geological movements, the water cycle and the land/water distribution are all essential (and tuned) to promoting biological life. 

My argument throughout is that the obvious is ignored, nay actively condemned because of the imperative, since Darwin, to expunge God from the equation. But this God is the God of Bible, the wrathful old man in the clouds. A God that frankly needs to be expunged but, in my view, to be replaced by a more comprehensive and universal concept reaching towards a universal intelligence that pervades all things. That constitutes all things. Perhaps the mistake is in the continued use of the word God but from the very start of the evolution debate it has been a battle between science and the dogma of religion and, for those on the side of science, the dogma became materialism.

Whether we use the word God or some other term that does not evoke the Old Testament figure, that entity is not part of the equation, it is the equation.
