nanotech and asaris are both outright wrong on both the constants and evolution arguments. the anthropic principle (http://www.counterbalance.net/physgl...prin-body.html) is notable because it strongly supports the fact that the constants weren't created for us specifically but that we exist in our form and time as a result of these random constants.

it has been reasonably suggested that there are multiple universes (see M-theory and superstring). the constants and ratios across the entire numerical gamut have equal probability of existing: ours is not special. rather, our version of life on earth exists because there *is* a probability of it happening with this set of constants, not because the constants were "created" for us.

even more damning is the fact that even in our single universe there are billions upon billions of planets, and even conservative statistics (http://www.thekeyboard.org.uk/Extrat...ial%20life.htm) put the number of planets with the potential for carbon-based (this ignores the possibility of other forms of life, which is limiting in itself) at 10 billion! to say that we are chosen by god to "own" the universe (of which we barely own our little blue marble as it is) as humans is absurd.

just admit that you only have belief...don't pretend that you have facts or evidence.
