Earth seems finely tuned so we can exist. It's the perfect distance from the sun for mild temperatures and liquid water, it has a protective giant, Jupiter, nearby to keep rogue asteroids from hitting us - all key requirements for intelligent life to evolve. But the Earth is not fine-tuned. The galaxy is teeming with at least 100 billion planets. By chance alone, there will be at least one fit for intelligent life. In a multiverse teeming with universes, there will be at least one that's suited to us.
f you go to the shop and you want to get a nice a suit, are you surprised when they have your size? Well, you would be if there was one suit and it just happened to fit. But if they've got a rack of every possible size, it's no surprise that they have one that fits you. If there are many, many universes with many, many different features, then it's no surprise that there's one that would fit us.
This fact may present a challange for modern sceince because this is not a scientific theory as it cannot be experimentally verified or falsified. Once we move into metaphysics the naturalistic assumption of science must be done away with as it is no longer either justifiable or useful. Indeed it is a metaphysical statement itself--as it lies behind science, it cannot be examined scientifically.
I actually find this fact so fascinating, although there is no surprise that the earth is very, very fine tuned and the conditions necessary for life are too perfect to have occurred naturally, and the complexity of DNA is so great that there must be an intelligence behind the creation of the earth and all life.
It is amazing the stories some people will invent and believe to avoid believing in God for who evidence is available. Some take fine-tuning as evidence that God created the universe. You can imagine physicists’ horror at the thought. But what other explanation could there be? Well, we’ve hit the road to find some answers from some of the top physicists in the
