People turn to religion when they want answers which realistically impossible to deliver through conventional science, such as the origin of the universe explained in the ancient times of Babylonia. Through the ages people kept pestering so called experts for answers because they feel more comfortable with any answer even the wrong answer than none at all. So religious shamans and high priests just makes something up to shut them up.
Just because more people believe Jesus is the son of God and not the son of Satan does not make it any truer.

The Goldilocks stuff is actually a rubbish argument for fine tuning... you may see theists regularly asserting that the constants are too "finely tuned" to them having been produced without supernatural intervention, the odds they calculate, to channel Victor Stenger here, are based on seeing what happens when one constant is varied while the others are kept fixed, free variance across the whole range shoots those odds of 1 in a million blah blah down rather well, finetuning is just a load of disingenious theistic apologetics.
