The author makes an interesting point, if the hypothesis of multiverse is unprovable (due to lack of observations of the other universes), then it is exactly as sound as a the hypothesis of a creator who chose our universe parameters.

You don&#x27;t need intelligent design, because the only universes in which we exist are the ones capable of sustaining us.<p>The Eye is really complex how could it possibly have evolved with out Intelligent design? I&#x27;m told this lots of times. Here is a better one for those people. Why is water a universal solvent, non-flammable, buoyant as a solid floating in its liquid form, exist in all states of matter at in a range of temperatures we can live?<p>You know why eye&#x27;s exist? Because Water Exists. If there is a universe where water doesn&#x27;t float as Ice, the oceans would freeze solid killing all the macro life forms, we&#x27;d never evolve eyes, and the world would be limited to single celled organisms.<p>If gravity was 10% less strong than it is Earth would be farther from the sun, and too cold to live on.<p>The only observable universes are the ones where observers exist. That doesn&#x27;t prove the existence of God, it proves the existence of man.
