Cosmological Fine Tuning and the Multiverse Model
On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews Dr. Scott Chambers, who discusses his current research and his interest in the debate over evolution, which began in college and continues through this day.Click here to listen.
Dr. Chambers explains how the evidence for intelligent design from the fine-tuning of the universe and the fundamental constants of physics "smacks of design," and he addresses the multiverse hypothesis.
Also, Is the earth uniquely situated for scientific observation? Do we live on a privileged planet?
Go here to listen.On this episode of ID The Future we have a short clip about the book The Privileged Planet. In the book, authors Jay Richards and Guillermo Gonzalez suggest that earth was designed for scientific discovery. They introduce a new idea that more than just being rare in the universe, the earth is ideally located for scientific observation.
Here are some other stories on the controversy over whether the universe is fine tuned or whether there are many universes:
