The fine-tuning argument is the claim that various features of the laws of physics are best explained by the hypothesis of a cosmic designer. I, first, explain what physicists mean by "fine-tuning" in this context, and second, explore four possible explanations for this remarkable scientific discovery: appeal to chance, a multiverse, an underlying theory of future physics, and a cosmic designer. Rather than arguing for any particular answer, I survey of few problems and prospects for each.
