since we have a greater reason to expect an exquisitely finely tuned universe capable of hosting life given theism than naturalism, the observation of a finely tuned life-permitting universe provides greater support for theism. We can again state that conclusion using Bayesian symbolism: P(T | Eft) >> P(Nb | Eft). In other words, theism (or deism) provides a better explanation for the cosmic fine tuning than does basic naturalism.
