God made most of universe uninhabitable!

Variations in fine-structure constant suggest laws of physics not the same everywhere.

(PhysOrg.com) -- One of the most controversial questions in cosmology is why the fundamental constants of nature seem fine-tuned for life. One of these fundamental constants is the fine-structure constant, or alpha, which is the coupling constant for the electromagnetic force and equal to about 1/137.0359. If alpha were just 4% bigger or smaller than it is, stars wouldn't be able to make carbon and oxygen, which would have made it impossible for life as we know it to exist. Now, results from a new study show that alpha seems to have varied a tiny bit in different directions of the universe billions of years ago, being slightly smaller in the northern hemisphere and slightly larger in the southern hemisphere. One intriguing possible implication is that the fine-structure constant is continuously varying in space, and seems fine-tuned for life in our neighborhood of the universe.

After reading the above article on physorg.com, I was forced to come to the conclusion that the designer of our universe was not using a fine brush, more of a Jackson Pollock jet engine paint drip technique, since he seems to have managed to make all but our little corner useless for creating or sustaining life.

They should have let me have a go at designing a universe just for man. I'd only have made 1 Sun, 1 planet, maybe a moon so you'd have something to look at while you sweet talk with Eve. I'd only have created slow-moving, docile, tasty, low cholesterol animals to eat. Also, I'd have designed rice, corn and wheat so that they didn't need to be selectively cultivated from wild grasses over tens of thousands of years, and I'd have made it grow in nice straight lines. All fruit would have been on low hanging branches, and been ripe year round.

Just think of all the time I would have saved. Since it takes a week to make and populate 1 planet in a solar system, God or some other grand intelligent designer must still be at it. I'd have finished mine in a week and be sitting on the beach with 2 lovelies rubbing coconut oil into my skin every 30 mins.

I definitely wouldn't have put asteroids and other stuff up there that could come crashing down and cause the end of man.

I definitely wouldn't have put Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Sharks etc.on the planet.

Definitely wouldn't have wasted time creating all the other stars and planets, that man couldn't use apart from to be curious about them. I'd just design the neck so it couldn't look up. Can't see the stars, no need to design them, right?

Since I'm all about making it easy for man. I would not have bothered creating all the poisonous stuff, snakes, plants, spiders, fish etc.

Might as well not bother inventing disease either. No cancer, malaria, tuberculosis, smallpox, plague.

You can leave a request for a Price Quotation for creating a universe in the comments below. I expect to be busy though, since I can do it for a trillion times less than God, so it may take a while to get back to you with the quote. Anyone with better ideas for my planet can write them below, I will consider them as a job application.
