Is it just one or all of them? How do you know? Can I use it to prove the existence of fairies just by changing the word 'god' for 'fairies'? I've wanted to believe in fairies ever since I grew up to be too old to.<br />Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-70347599055015989962016-01-13T16:12:53.785+00:002016-01-13T16:12:53.785+00:00Fine tuning argument is not actually needed for pr...Fine tuning argument is not actually needed for proving the existence of God, because this can be proved even if there is no fine tuning.

I didn't reproduce the entire book by 'actual physicist' Victor Stenger but gave enough links and references for people to do so it they wished.<br /><br />If you read it you will find he comprehensively refutes every single example of so-called fine tuning.<br /><br />If you read the extract above you will see that Stenger doesn't dismiss the cosmological constant by claiming "physicists have made a stupid, dumb-ass, wrong calculation that has to be the worst calculation in physics history" either.<br /><br />You might do better if you deal with what Stenger actually says rather than throwing <i>ad hominems</i> around and misrepresenting his arguments. I appreciate that might not suit your creationist agenda nor appeal to those who find the argument from ignorance, the god of the gaps and the false dichotomy fallacies convincing arguments.<br /><br />I'm afraid you are playing on a science playing field, not a theological one and the rules of science apply here.<br /><br />Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-2399862185029681582013-11-06T00:41:27.821+00:002013-11-06T00:41:27.821+00:00Take a look at this link.

The calculation in question is a consequence of basic quantum mechanics, one of the pillars of modern science. In fact, many scientists do agree that the cosmological constant looks like it is fine-tuned to 120 decimal places. That's as dramatic a case of fine-tuning as you could hope to find. <br /><br /><br /><br />Mark Mahinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17230591038352645520noreply@blogger.com
