Is the universe fine-tuned for life?

Prologue

Argument from intelligent design

The presence of mathematical & physical laws in the universe is a huge indication that it was designed & adjusted perfectly by an intelligent designer outside of time, matter & space. Every pattern in nature (Fibonacci, biology, chemistry, gravity, etc…) are extraordinary signs of a grandiose architecture.

A complex & sophisticated design requires an intelligent mind.
What is the probability that a video game or a movie is self-created? Even with an AI system in the future, who made the AI? Is it more reasonable to say that some people made the video game, or a tornado miraculously assembled all the pieces together to get us a brilliant video game?

Everything on earth has been prepared for us. Just like a stage director making beautiful decorations for the actors to plays their role.

“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.” 1
Sir Isaac Newton (1643 – 1727)

The fine-tuning of the universe is only possible due to either 1 of the 3 reasons.

Necessary

Chance

Design

  1. The fine-tuning of the universe is due to either physical necessity, chance, or design.
  2. It is not due to physical necessity or chance.
  3. Therefore, it is due to design.

Necessity

Chance

Design

The best explanation for how the universe was fine-tuned is, it was designed that way.
