    It's because Craig is trying to make claims about extremely difficult subjects by using philosophy, which has been proven to not be that useful in the case of the extreme physical conditions of our universe. Penrose on the other hand has studied the subject and understands the disagreement and difficulties present, rather than trying to overstep his case and arrive at his favorite conclusion

    Fine tuning is for those of us who arnt capable of not having an explanation for our own existence. "I don't know" is the most intellectually honest interpretation of what facts we have to observe, opposed to the arrogance of presupposing a supernatural explanation of the missing pieces to our existential puzzle.

    Thank you for letting me know your license plate haha I am just kidding. You do raise an interesting point. My only concern with it that would be based on randomly forming numbers for no other purpose then to identify the car. However, the fine tuning of the universe deals with gravitational, strong interaction and weak interaction forces being at an exact specific number otherwise life could not function or exist as it does even if it were moved by a decimal amount. The probability of all these coinciding together at the same time I am not sure what that probability would be. I also think that our reality is so fragile. That even the slightest changes to our biology or chemistry would be catastrophic. Neil degrasse Tyson I watched a video of his where he said of the earth stopped rotating everyone would fly eastwards at a 180mph. That even things like the human chromosome if even one chromosome was missing could lead to something called the turner effect as well as other issues. So life seems perfectly balanced. I know they say there maybe multiverses which we have not physically seen yet. Richard Dawkins himself said in an interview that he thought this was a good argument for God as opposed to the moral argument. He said at most he could be a theist but not necessarily a Christian because he doesn't see the connection between Jesus dying on the cross and the existence of our know universe....I know I wrote a lot but it is definitely worth watching.

    The universe is not fine tuned for life. It's possible that some planets can be more appropriate for life than most of the planets in the entire universe. And life on those planets doesn't have to be as life on earth. Gravity for example doesn't have to be exactly as ours. If the universe were fine tuned for life there would be life on most planets in it.

    Why shouldn't the universe be immense? In order for the elements heavier than hydrogen to form, stars must exist for billions of years so their cores will produce the elements necessary for life. Because all these stars have mass therefore gravity the universe must expand otherwise all matter will collapse in on itself. The expansion must be just right. Too strong, no gravitational interaction, no stars. Too weak, universal singularity. By the time enough of these elements are produced, the universe has expanded to a ridiculously large size.

Perhaps Craig needs to see that he hasn't lost God by having him be a part of the universe - the bible says one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all. You can find him apart from creation as well as in.

    No, he's saying a few things: (1) that the constants, had they been changed every so slightly, could easily have produced life, albeit a slightly different kind of life (2) that the universe, large as it is, is full of variation in regards to constants -- for example, in galaxy A, the constants could be a, b, c, and across the universe in galaxy B, x, y, z. Both, apperatly, could produce life. This argument seriously invalidates the notion that mankind is at the center of things (3) finally, there are cyclic universes, meaning, in the last aeon, the constants would have been strange to us, helping to produce life forms different from our own. Does this then mean G-d's out of the picture? Not at all! Firstly, Orch-OR (a theory co-worked by Roger Penrose and Sturat Hameroff) suggests that with each passing aeon, consciousness evolves. Thus, in regards to evolution on earth, consciousness was the guiding hand, not the application which arose by principle of physical processes. Lastly, the Abrahamic view is incorrect. This isn't to say that the Bible is false. Just our interpretation of it. Similarly to the Buddhist view of things, Judaism recounts with, vivid beauty, the truth of extraterrestrial life. Some examples of this: in the Gemara, Megiliah 18, we find a quote from Devorah, "Cursed is Meroz, cursed are its inhabitants." The Gemara takes the opinion that Meroz is a star. Sefer HaBris adds to this: if Meroz is a star [planet], than the verse must be speaking of "its inhabitants." Moreover, we find in Avodah Zarah, 3b, B.T., that G-d "flies past 18,000 worlds." This shouldn't come across to us an anthropomorphic in the slightest. In Tehillim (Psalm) 145:13, we read, "Your kingdom is a kingdom spanning all olamim [worlds]." According to the Zohar, there exists "worlds without end." Finally, there is a shift in the view of that great Kabbalist, the Ari (1534-1572), who spoke of an infinite number of spiritual worlds. So we have "spiritual worlds" along with "physical" ones. What an exciting claim! We must disperse with the notion that the whole universe was created for our sake alone. After all, who are we to dare suggest that none of these life forms were given Torah as well? Well, that's a great argument on my part aside for the fact that it is said in Berachot 32b that G-d created all of the stars in the universe for His children alone.

    There seems to be many, many people here who settle with Penrose's assertion of "I don't know". This is of course a necessary attitude for the continuation of the pursuit of truth. But what's also needed is the proper examination and evaluation of the information we have now, in order to move forward and keep evaluating with an open mind. That being said, after hearing and learning of the intensely small and narrow range in which all the values of the components of our universe are present, and how if any of these values shift to even the smallest most minuscule extent, the universe itself could not go on, how could anyone move past the plausible conclusion that there has been something (or someone) in existence which has purposefully created our universe? In a case like this one, again, it is good to maintain an open mind and to say "I don't know". But in saying that, we cannot just settle with that. In saying that, we must look forward, seek truth, and use reason to make proper conclusions with the resources we have at hand. And making conclusions does not mean asserting something and leaving it at that. Science in essence is the constant search for truth in the material universe.

    Necrophadez First of all, What do you mean by evidence? There are two forms of evidence: direct evidence (eyewitness testimony) and indirect evidence (everything else). Both forms of evidence are used to make cases in a court of law. There is a large body of direct evidence for God’s existence, like the testimony of those who observed the Resurrection of Jesus and the testimony of those who have experienced the miraculous intervention of God. There is also a large body of indirect evidence for God’s existence, like a universe that came into existence from nothing, the naturalistically implausible appearance of fine-tuning in the universe, the miraculous origin of life from inorganic matter, and the improbable existence of information in DNA. All this indirect evidence is most reasonably explained by a Divine Creator. If God didn’t create the universe and everything in it, then the cosmos are simply the product of physics, chemistry, space, time and matter. What evidence do you have that these features and forces can produce the consciousness or free-agency we experience? What evidence is there that physics and chemistry can produce the high-level information we find in DNA? What evidence do we have that these forces can account for the appearance of fine-tuning in the universe or the appearance of design in biological structures? If evidence is important to you, how can you accept naturalistic explanations for these features of the universe when there isn’t sufficient evidence to support such claims? Not only is there evidence in science that proves god exists but there are also historical facts surrounding the life and resurrection of Jesus which is very convincing evidence that god exists. So your true ignorance is showing when you say “there is no evidence that proves a creator”. If you want actual physical or testable evidence for gods existence, it’s not possible. It’s impossible to use natural means to explain or prove anything of the supernatural e.g. the existence of god. I don’t know why you think I copy and paste from articles.

But in reality, we just don't know if there is any probabilistic argument that makes any sense regarding the beginning of our universe or the beginning of life on Earth. In probability, the variables or events that you are going to study have to comply with certain rules if we want the whole analysis to make any sense at all. For example, consider this: Let's say that your parents decided that they wanted a child and started trying until you were conceived. If conception had taken place a few seconds earlier or later, you would not have been conceived. If they were more passive, you would not have been conceived. If they were more aggressive, you would not have been conceived. If they had gone to sleep earlier, you would not have been conceived. Anything at all that would have happened differently and somebody else, not you, would have been conceived. The fact that you were conceived, not somebody else, is like winning the lottery twice in one day, and yet, you are here. That is not good probability, it is bad rhetoric.

I know I'd sure lose my job in a hurry if I didn't admit when I don't know because it would result in massive financial losses and potentially loss of lives. Let's not resort to flat-earther-style conspiracy theories here... Not knowing an answer does not warrant the insertion of your favorite hypothesis, such as a god. Based on the fact that you referred to non-creationists as 'evolutionists,' I don't buy that you actively made the effort to understand science, and specifically, biology; anyone can regurgitate information about DNA to demonstrate it's complex, but jumping to a conclusion after that is fallacious. No one calls it 'evolutionism' but creationist committing the tu quoque fallacy by implying evolution is some sort of a religion. Evolution wasn't something people desired to be true; it came out of the piles of positive evidence and usable predictive power of the model. I was a devout catholic most of my life, but eventually accepted the fact that I had no rational reason to believe in talking snakes, virgin births, men who lived in whales, and that you should be able to beat your slave as long as they don't die within a day or two.

    This discussion vividly demonstrates why science and religion are not compatible in addition to the difference between a scientist and a theologian. Let me say first that even if the universe did not appear to be fine tuned, the theologian would still express his certainty about how the universe came to be. The scientist follows the evidence as far as it takes him and, while developing hypotheses that best explain the observable facts, the scientists is willing to say he doesn't know an answer when he doesn't. The theologian on the other hand is certain that he knows the answers. Whether fine tuned or not, the universe was created by the god of the Hebrew Bible. So this is really not a discussion about scientific hypotheses. Rather it is a discussion between a humble scientist and a confident theologian filled with certitude that the universe was created by the god of the Hebrews. No conclusions from science will ever change the mind of the theologian.

There are no little number of scientists who believe the universe was created to accommodate life by observing the design, the degree of complexities observable empirically in their specialized fields, and the undeniable wisdom built into the world around us as our mind and brains intuitively perceive. Where God came from and how he has always existed are mere EXCUSES to avoid accountabilty. Those in that camp who dont wake up will be called to account for the creator is entitled to praise and to ask for his terms to be observed.

This is not the way to reality, the title of his famous best-seller, Sir Penrose. God is not a mathematician, he uses mathematics to create works of art. Indeed it looks like a perfect artist. And I don't think the neutron star world has an aesthetic that could interest it.

    @ben henault I would expect a reasonable, open-minded person not to have his mind made up in the first place, and to be at least as uncertain after hearing someone who knows orders of magnitude more than him say "we don't know." But of course, Craig isn't a reasonable, open minded person for all his learned pretensions. Instead he arrogantly thinks he's got Penrose in some sort of gotcha moment. Which is the whole point. Craig, with no evidence, already thinks he knows how the universe came about. And it wouldn't matter what Penrose said, he would never change his mind. So it's not a real debate. It's embarrassing. And Penrose isn't taking seriously the idea that God created the universe. He's saying there's so much that we don't know that why would you think this alleged fine-tuning problem was a slam dunk for an incoherent hypothesis like creationism? And finally, why WOULDN'T one change one's mind when confronted with uncertainty? Uncertainty is the only respectable position on so many questions. Only a fool respects certainty for it's own sake.

After that, he analyzed the holy books and saw that the bible is the only one that accurately describes the chronology of the early Universe/Earth, etc. (17/17 of the criteria). The others didn't even come close. Then he looked into the evidence for the bible, Jesus, etc. Other ones to look into are Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. William Lane Craig, J Warner Wallace, Lee Strobel. They all have videos on here, sites, and books. I pray that you look into all of this and come to the Truth one day, God bless!

    @@UsmanKhan-ov4fj Hi Usman. Apologies if my earlier posts were a little flippant. Equally, perhaps they were a little light in detail. Now that I’ve had a good sleep and I’m at an actual computer, perhaps I can do a little better on both counts… As I’m sure you’re aware, the fact that certain constants in the universe seem to be remarkable fine-tuned is well accepted in science. The weight of carbon; the force of gravity; the cosmological constant; the ‘weak force’ inside atoms; and (Penrose’s recent contribution) the amount of entropy at the Big Bang. The chances of all these things simply being tuned as they are by chance is astronomically small. Indeed, the chances of the latter alone being as it is can be calculated as one in… well, a number so large that it would need one zero on every atom in the known universe. And that’s just the physics, to say nothing of the maths around the beginnings of life on earth (not really my area!). Sticking purely with the physics and cosmology though - you seem fairly switched on, so I am sure you are well aware that this stuff is well accepted by science. What is more wrangled over is the explanation behind it. Atheists generally reach for one of four explanations - each of which is at the theoretical phase, if even that: The first is the ‘anthropic principle’ which has widely been abandoned now by serious debaters. The other three are the multiverse theory, the cyclical universe theory (of which Penrose has the latest version), and the so called ‘theory of everything’. Before I (very) briefly comment on these, I think it suffices to say that each is at best an unproven theory. Therefore, I think that theists are justified in saying (respectfully, I hope) that at the present time at least, the proven physics would seem to be more in our corner than yours. And that’s generally where I leave things when I am presenting content myself. However, let’s give a bit more detail: The multiverse and cyclical universe theories both fall down largely because there are several highly credible death scenarios for the universe (for any universe, we might say) which it is impossible for either a collection of multiverses (even infinite, given infinite time) or a cyclical universe to escape. The current theory about the end of the universe, now widely accepted, for instance, is the ‘big chill.’ Penrose offers no explanation as to how his next cyclical universe would gain the energy for another Big Bang given this hypothesis. As for the ‘theory of everything,’ well, okay, maybe it will happen one day. But the problem with the TOE is that it’s not even a theory yet, let alone a proven one. It’s akin to saying “well, I will have an awesome answer one day…” and that brings me to the Dawkins reference you asked for: It can be found in pages 157-58 of ‘The God Delusion.’ Dawkins acknowledges that we cannot at present explain fine tuning but says, referencing Darwin, that “We don’t have an equivalent explanation for physics, but we shouldn’t give up the hope of a better explanation arising in physics. Something as powerful as Darwin is for biology.” (that is William Lane-Craig’s paraphrase, but it is true to the original intent). But he acknowledges (same reference, or thereabouts) that we are nowhere near it yet. But if this is outdated and Dawkins has since thoroughly debunked fine-tuning and indeed provided that explanation, I would be delighted to examine any reference you can provide. Thanks for considering my response so carefully, as I’m sure you have.

    ALLAN BELL Since the 1960s physicists have recognized that the initial conditions and the laws and constants of physics are finely tuned, against all odds, to make life possible. Even extremely slight alterations in the values of many independent factors - such as the expansion rate of the universe, the speed of light, and the precise strength of gravitational or electromagnetic attraction - would render life impossible. Physicists refer to these factors as “anthropic coincidences” and to the fortunate convergence of all these coincidences as the “fine-tuning of the universe.” Many have noted that this fine-tuning strongly suggests design by a pre-existent intelligence. Physicist Paul Davies has said that “the impression of design is overwhelming.” Fred Hoyle argued that, “A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as chemistry and biology.” Many physicists now concur. They would argue that - in effect - the dials in the cosmic control room appear finely-tuned because someone carefully fine-tuned them. To explain the vast improbabilities associated with these fine-tuning parameters, some physicists have postulated not a “fine-tuner” or intelligent designer, but the existence of a vast number of other parallel universes. This “multiverse” concept also necessarily posits various mechanisms for producing these universes. On this view, having some mechanism for generating new universes would increase the number of opportunities for a life-friendly universe such as our own to arise - making ours something like a lucky winner of a cosmic lottery. But advocates of these multiverse proposals have overlooked an obvious problem. The speculative cosmologies (such as inflationary cosmology and string theory) they propose for generating alternative universes invariably invoke mechanisms that themselves require fine-tuning, thus begging the question as to the origin of that prior fine-tuning. Indeed, all the various materialistic explanations for the origin of the fine-tuning - i.e., the explanations that attempt to explain the fine-tuning without invoking intelligent design - invariably invoke prior unexplained fine-tuning. Moreover, as Jay Richards has shown, “The fine-tuning of the universe exhibits precisely those features - extreme improbability and functional specification - that invariably trigger an awareness of, and justify an inference to, intelligent design.” Since the multiverse theory cannot explain fine-tuning without invoking prior fine-tuning, and since the fine-tuning of a physical system to accomplish a propitious end is exactly the kind of thing we know intelligent agents do, it follows that intelligent design stands as the best explanation for the fine-tuning of the universe. And that makes intelligent design detectable in both the physical parameters of the universe and the information-bearing properties of life. You ask how god came into existence. He never came into existence, he has always existed eternally. He is an Immaterial, Spaceless, and Timeless being who created the universe out of nothing. Don’t be like other atheists out there, admit that the universe couldn’t have came into existence by itself. Matter, Space, and Time did not exist before the Big Bang.
