A Quick and Dirty Refutation of Fine-Tuning Arguments for Theism

Since creation ex nihilo is prima facie metaphysically impossible, the posterior probability of the god of theism creating a fine-tuned universe ex nihilo is zero.

The simplest, most conservative type of explanation of fine-tuning is therefore some sort of natural cause.
