The Fine-Tuning Argument

[Angrboda]

I believe the physicist Victor Stenger has made that claim, or one similar in his debate with William Lane Craig. As I recall, Craig often makes that claim in his debates, that the values of the various constants are "so improbable that they demand an explanation, and a benevolent God whom made them as they are is more plausible than any naturalistic account". That's not exactly a direct quote from Craig, but is something like what he usually says.


I know that Stenger wrote a book on the topic - The Fallacy of Fine-Tuning - How the Unuverse is Not Designed for Us - but I haven't read it, and I hear it's a bit technical. Might pick it up from Amazon soon. Any of you read it before?

I've got it, but I've only read partway into it. It is a bit technical. There is a section of Stenger's "God: The Failed Hypothesis" which is devoted to the subject and is considerably more accessible. I'm not saying the science in Fine Tuning is really difficult, I just got distracted with other things.
