Fred Hoyle was a brilliant astro-physicist.
His theory of continuous creation and a universe with no moment of creation was in line with the facts as they were then known.
It was him who first discovered how finely tuned the basic constants had to be and are.
That is confirmed, not discredited.

Dr. Lane is more certain now than he was in 2010.
It was a single event.

As Jeri said, this thread is about opinions of what is amazing.
That you fail to be amazed by what I put up shows your limited grasp and understanding.

Here they are again,

I am amazed that, for no known reason, our moon appears exactly the same size as the sun so that each generation sees eclipses that engender a drive to understand the movements of the spheres.
It is if it was planned.
Also that but for our unique Earth/Moon arrangement we would not have had a world stable enough for evolution to have chance to work, and we only have it because a Mars sized planet collided with us at a very precise angle and velocity.
What is the likelihood of all that happening by chance?

I am amazed that all the constants of nature are fine tuned to produce suns with a long and stable life and all the chemical elements to make planets and life.
Coincidence upon bizarre coincidence over and over again.

For a long time the only life on Earth was bacteria.
To make the first complex cell, two unrelated bacterial cells had to merge to make an viable hybrid, something that should not be possible.

It happened on Earth only once, so every plant, animal fungus on Earth is descended from that one impossible cell.

Amazing!
Amazing!
