He thoroughly details the fine-tuning of the universe and it leads him to claim we live in a multiverse.

Its not an assumption, life on earth is the only life we know of. The issue isn't just life, there is fine-tuning involved from the moment the universe came into existence such as the fact there was more matter than anti-matter. The cosmological constant is fine tuned so the universe neither collapses on itself or expands into thin matter. Gravity (in just the right strength) causes stars to exist which then through nuclear synthesis cause the ingredients to make planets and the type of matter life depends on. The existence of dark matter is still relatively new, yet we know sooner discover it then find out its necessary to keep galaxies from flying apart.
Quote:2. There is no evidence of a fine tuned universe only very adaptable life
Bull. We only know of one planet that has life (we know of many more where life didn't adapt). Apparently it didn't even adapt on Mars which was quite earth like early on.
Quote:3. Argument from authority he's just some dude with an opinionA scientist dude. Why should I pay heed to your opinion?
Quote:4. It's still circular reasoning
No amount of circular reasoning caused a universe suitable for life to exist.
