The Fine-Tuning Argument
#13
RE: The Fine-Tuning Argument
(July 23, 2013 at 7:09 am)Kim Wrote: I think the gist of the fine-tuning claim is that the universe would be a very boring place, devoid of any sort of complexity, if any of the many fundamental constants are only slightly changed. I have to see yet a clear and straight-forward rebuttal to this claim. Most of the responses thus far in the line of:

1. This is how the universe is.
2. There could be multiverse, each with different constants, and we happen to live in one that supports complexity.

The first rebuttal is that it is incorrect to assume that those fundamental constants could be changed at all.

The second rebuttal is that there is no evidence to support the assumption that the universe would be a very boring place, devoid of any sort of complexity, if those constants were to be changed. The only thing we could say is that this sort of complexity would be missing.
