The calculations of British mathematician Roger Penrose show that the
probability of universe conducive to life occurring by chance is in 10 to
the10.123. The phrase "extremely unlikely" is inadequate to describe this
possibility.

In order to do this calculation you would need to (1) consider
some set of physical constants as describing a space of some
number of dimensions, (2) determine the probability density
function on that space, (3) determine what sub-volume of that
many-dimensional space describes universes that could support
life, and (4) integrate the probability density function over
the life-capable portion of that many-dimensional space.

To keep this simple I will limit myself to one question:

How do you determine the probability density function over the
space of possible settings of the physical constants?
