Howard,
Not at all. The fine tuning, as I understand it applies only to the
pre-biotic universe, and, as you said, originated in the initial state of the
universe.
If one has a developmental model of the universe, as I have, then episodic
interaction with it on the part of God is no problem, anymore than your
interaction with your children, all along their developmental trajectory,
does not mean that there was something deficient in them. God called His
creation Good. Not perfect. Not robust. Just good. There is nothing in
Scripture that I can find that says that God is not involved in His creation
at all levels.
Best regards,
Bob
