Cosmological Fine Tuning

[Pete]

You christians are a disgrace clutching imaginatively at such straws.

When I first heard of the concept of cosmological fine tuning I was quite intrigued. However the term Fine Tuning is not a term I liked. It involks images of a being turning knobs. Frankly I don't accept a being doing that. When I started this thread I made an error in my question. I had in mnd Multiverse Cosmological Models. Had anybody actually looked at the paper I referanced then you'd see that it had nothing to do with cosmological fine-tuning. The name of the article is Multiverse Cosmological Models. This I can see being true. Whether it's a testable theory is another thing altogether. There is something in the book Cosmic Jackpot, by Paul Davies which mentions this. It may not really address it. I might have made a mistake reading it since I was flipping through the pages and cam across the term testable and some talk of how to test it (I think).

I'd like to make a request. If I hint at a creator of the universe it doesn't imply a being of infinite power such as The Christian/Hebrew/Islamic God. It's may be theoretically possible for an advanced race might be able to create a universe. A paper was written on the subject by Allen Guth and Edward Farhi (both from MIT). A reference to that paper is here - http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1987PhLB..183..149F

I'm going to upload aticle to my web site and you can download it from there. Although I'm not sure if the file is too large.

I'd also would appreciate a halt of all the rude remarks about Christians when they are applied to me. Please don't confuse me with all the ignorant Christians in the world. I may be a Christian but I'm a scientist as well. I think very differently than most Christians. Edmund Bertschinger, the head of the physics department at MIT, is a Christian, and is very intelligent.

As for testability of the principles of physics I'd like to remind you that some models in relativistic cosmology do contain such a principle. Thatprinciple being The Cosmological Principle. For details please see http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/...ciple.html

Thanks.

Best wishes
