Why does life need a special justification over other unlikely states?
The argument tugs at the intuition that a Universe finely-tuned for life screams out for an explanation while a Universe finely tuned for, say, maximizing the very highest possible number of red rocks wouldn’t require an explanation even though they are both apparently equally improbable.
For this reason, it seems that the fine-tuning argument requires a traditionally theistic view of life – one that sees the very existence of biological life as having objective significance in the universe, and so demanding an explanation. Of course, if the fine-tuning argument requires a traditionally theistic view of life in order for the Fine-tuning argument for God to go through, I do hope I can be forgiven for rejecting such circularity.
