[QUOTE="Oncedeceived, post: 69667115, member: 9242"] This is a topic that another member, Athee, and I have determined would be a good one to explore in our opposing views. Paul Davies, a British-born theoretical physicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist and best-selling author has said of fine tuning: “Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth - the universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of nature themselves. For 40 years, physicists and cosmologists have been quietly collecting examples of all too convenient "coincidences" and special features in the underlying laws of the universe that seem to be necessary in order for life, and hence conscious beings, to exist. Change any one of them and the consequences would be lethal. [URL='https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/199992.Fred_Hoyle']Fred Hoyle[/URL], the distinguished cosmologist, once said it was as if "a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics". There is agreement between the majority of physicists, cosmologists and astrobiologists in regards to the fine tuning of the universe. The question is not whether or not fine tuning is real, it is, but why? Why is our universe the way it is and could it have been different? What best explains the universe and its very narrow parameters that allow for intelligent life to exist? These are the questions and more that we will be addressing in this thread. My view as the theist is that God better explains the fine tuning of the universe than a purely atheistic naturalistic explanation. Get ready, get set, and go...... [/QUOTE]
