Fine Tuning Principle: Devastating Disproof and Scientific Refutation of Atheism.
July 22, 2023 at 6:30 am
Physicist Paul Davies teaches: "There is now broad agreement among physicists and cosmologists that the Universe is in several respects ‘fine-tuned' for life” (Cosmic Jackpot, Why our Universe is just right for life), while even Steven Hawking admits: "The remarkable fact is that the values of these numbers seem to have been very finely adjusted to make possible the development of life." (A Brief History of Time).
Sir Martin Rees mentions 6 of these Cosmic Constants in the Book, Just Six Numbers: The Deep Forces that Shape the Universe. Sir Martin Rees is a leading researcher on Cosmic Evolution and renowned authority/expert in his field.
Let’s formulate the Fine Tuning Argument in logical steps:
1. The Life-Permitting Possible Configurations of the Universe are vanishingly small compared to the Life-Precluding ones (as amply admitted/documented by the above Scientists/Researchers).
2. Thus, on Chance alone, it’s reasonable to say no life at all should ever have existed.
3. Therefore, granted the existence of life, Design is a vastly superior explanation to chance, for the fact of why life exists at all in the first place. Chance just isn’t very good at creating life, it turns out, unfortunately for Atheists, because the life-permitting range is mind-bogglingly narrow.
An analogy: 10 sharp-shooters are shooting at you, while you’ve been lined up before them in a firing squad for various crimes. Now, on chance alone, it’s a vanishingly small likelihood that you will ever survive this, because they're all not going to miss by chance. Nevertheless, if it turns out that you did survive, then given the evidence of your survival, the most Logical Explanation is not only Intelligent Design, but even Benign Design.
[Please note, if some of these constants were even slightly altered, galaxies, planets or stars wouldn’t even form in the first place, or the Universe would have re-collapsed long ago into nothingness. Therefore, life would never form because there would be no Planets for it to form on!]
And why do I say that? Because it’s most likely they conspired to miss to keep you alive – or were directed to do so by some Higher Intelligence that was favorable to you. Behold the Goodness, the Love and the Power of God, manifest in Creation, in bringing about the fact of life’s existence!
Chance is the god of Atheism. But like other false gods beside the True God, this god is demonstrably false. We know it is demonstrably false as we know the above sharp-shooters would almost certainly not have missed on chance alone. Chance is thus an unreasonable explanation, given the Scientific Fact of Fine-Tuning well documented by the above Scientists/Researchers.
Now, in this 21st Century (this was unknown till recently), there is no further excuse/good reason to remain in Atheistic Darkness, in light of the above facts, but, recognizing them, we ought to acknowledge the Beautiful Light – even if it may be hard for our Atheistic Friends to accept at first – that a Loving Intelligent Designer exists, extremely Wise, extremely Powerful and extremely Loving.
How do we know He is Wise? Because only great Wisdom could have conceived such extremely diverse constants that needed to be finely tuned. And why Power? Only great Power could have actually brought about what was hitherto only conceived in the Designer’s Mind. Thus, the Creator and Designer of the Universe reveals Himself to be not only a Remote First Cause (as the Deists claim, making a correct first step, but getting lost in detours afterward, sadly – as we will discuss further in the Principle of Contingent Causation thread) but a Wise and Powerful Being.
Finally, how do we know the Designer is Loving? Simple, because He went through such great efforts to ensure the existence of life; and then ensure, fairly recently (20th century), that we would come to know about it, just when Marx et al were lying against the Almighty with their Militant Atheism. A worthy response from the Almighty.
