A poet might say that the universe is exquisitely tuned, almost as if to accommodate us

You need to make your point with some detail. So, why?

I thought that implicit by this point since explicit above. Because that is how the Creator of the cosmos determined they should be.

Ok… I was curious if you were also referring to the fine-tuning discussion.

Not particularly. It is a little interesting to imagine if some of the constants could be temporarily and locally variable. I’ll try and pursue that in my next sci-fi trilogy. :slightly_smiling_face:

E = mc squared. For most people constancy means sameness. For nature and God it means balance.as found in the above equation.

Thanks for reminding me of something else beautiful:

e^{i\pi}+1=0

Speaking of sameness, this relates too:

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.

G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

There is nothing true theologically or scientifically in this quote, so why did you post it?

Such as? Naturalists have no difficulty fitting nature in nature. The music of the spheres included. Let alone considerable ones. Unmitigated theists are the ones with the considerable difficulties.
