Prophet of Zod | 6 Problems with the Fine-Tuning Argument @ProphetofZod | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The fine-tuning argument is often considered one of the best arguments for God. In a way, I can understand why. On an intuitive level, the universe just seems to "work" in a way that appears orderly and perfectly suited for the survival of life. But once you start digging a little deeper, it becomes clear that this idea is deeply flawed - and when discussing the modern Christian version of a tri-omni God who could have created the universe however he wanted, it's incoherent. In this video, I discuss six reasons why.
00:00 Intro
01:47 1) Most of the universe is inhospitable to human life and would instantly kill us.
03:55 2) It considers the odds of producing OUR life in particular instead of any possible kind of life an all-powerful God could have created.
05:29 3) It assumes the universe was made to help life survive and not that life adapted to survive in the universe.
07:41 4) It assumes that the “constants” and other attributes of the universe that make life possible were random.
10:18 5) It dismisses alternatives such as the multiverse hypothesis as having no evidence.
12:14 6) It proposes that God went out of his way to design humans with specific weaknesses just so he could design the universe to accommodate them.
