The Fine-tuning argument attempts to claim that the physical, empirical scientific finding known as "Fine Tuning" indicates that there is a god. Fine-Tuning is, roughly, the observation that the laws of physics are such that changing the constants, even by a little bit, will result in a totally different universe, not fit for life. It is a Teleological Argument (specifically, it is a form of the Anthropic Argument), and is treated as such under that heading (go there!). The following deals with it more broadly.

  • The Fine-tuning argument attempts to claim that the physical, empirical scientific finding known as "Fine Tuning" indicates that there is a god. Fine-Tuning is, roughly, the observation that the laws of physics are such that changing the constants, even by a little bit, will result in a totally different universe, not fit for life. It is a Teleological Argument (specifically, it is a form of the Anthropic Argument), and is treated as such under that heading (go there!). The following deals with it more broadly. The Fine-Tuning argument is held by many modern apologists, including Anthony Flew, William Lane Craig, Alvin Plantiga, George Schlesinger, Richard Swinburne, Robin Collins, Gerald Schroeder, and more. It is one of the most common argument raised in modern apologetics. Note: These arguments even if they were reliable would at most prove an unspecified intelligent designer or an unspecified intelligent design team. This type of argument cannot prove any specific religion, denomination or sect, see How many gods?.
