The not-so-fine tuning argument.
#12
RE: The not-so-fine tuning argument.
I think his point is not that God has to fine tune anything according to the usual argument or vice versa, but rather that a universe "on the edge of livability" that just barely works out (to use my own words) is something you would expect if there is no designer. The argument in this direction simply has to be as plausible as the one that fine tuning is a sign for a creator, and you're done dismantling the latter.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
