The Fine-Tuning Argument: A Non-Mathematical Critique

Join this channel to get access to perks:

Let us talk about the fine tuning argument and let us try to debunk it without using mathematics because I think it is possible. This argument looks and sounds like a great big scientific. Theory, but it's actually not. It's actually quite silly. So today I am going to try to debunk the fine tuning argument without using any mathematics whatsoever.

What is the fine tuning argument? In a nutshell, it is the idea that the universe is very big and very vast and very complicated. But there are certain fundamental properties of it that if even if they were a little bit different, would make the universe completely inhospitable to life, and by life we mostly mean us, But we'll get to that.

I am Vimoh, an Indian atheist and my videos have to do with religion, atheism, Indian culture, and sometimes contemporary political happenings.

Below are some videos from this channel that every Indian atheist must watch.

The shoe says wow, the foot is just designed perfectly for me to fit onto

[whykoks]

Not sure about other things but human emotions are perfectly tuned, especially the "stupidity" one...

There is difference between shooting an arrow at a target ... and .... randomly shooting an arrow somewhere, then going and paitining the target around where it landed. - The latter scenario is exactly like every fine tuning arguement ever made by theists.

[ApeWithHelmet]

wait. if the universe was any other way, then we wouldnt exist to make this arguement in the first place. its similar to flipping a coin 1000 times and recording the outcomes and then later on claiming that the chances of this exact pattern to emerge is so low that god must have willed this pattern. but the pattern did occur and as long as the observer exists, no matter what the pattern is, the observer would make the exact same statement.

Great production quantity 👌. And content, as usual, is awesome.

[curiousmind-bw]

i think scientist forgot to think like you obviously they are dumb guy we need genius like you who explain this theory without math keep it up 👍

[heartless]

Vimoh I take the fine tuning argument this way, if the universe is due to big bang then then why do the constant exist like universal gravitational constant or why there are laws like Newton's Law, Coulomb's Law, or why is e=mc^2 applicable everywhere and many more formulas we have studied in our school life. Don't say that it is due to humans who gave the laws, laws are not made after human gave it existed before and we can say that after big bang all theses laws existed we just found or we can say we discovered so *Vimoh answer don't run i will wait, if you don't answer i will take it as my win.

I wonder how much our innate fear of randomness and, ultimately, death plays into these anthropocentric delusions. Psychologists like Irwin Yalom (who wrote a brilliant treatise on existential psychodynamics) believe it's central to our neurological makeup. I'm inclined to agree with him.

[ani_boi]

This is brilliant! I'm surprised you needed no physics/math xD Human arrogance is indeed the true centre of the Universe :)

[sushreesenapati]

Yes life is mysterious. We have a go a long way

[raheemuddin]

Your foolish logic is causing me headache. The fine tuning argument is that if there were any slight changes in any of the conditions from what they are now, the universe would collapse. Example: fine tuning in atoms. In your example at the start of mountains trees etc. removing any of those would not immediately end the existence of everything. you seem to be missing the point.

[laxyasharma]

Apart from your brutal sarcasm. You are a great guy Vimoh :)

[xabdulraheem]

When one says fine tune. It inherently implies a designer doing the fine tuning. These are causal relations that we measure and label in hindsight. If the universe was a little different life would not be possible.... but the universe is so diverse. It's so different at different levels and constantly changing. We human are the outcomes of endless possibilities. Our bodies itself host millions of organisms. It's already so different. A little different orbit and Mars dried up. A little different geography and the culture and bio diversity changes.

[tam_chris]

Am sorry but i dont see any speicifc refutation of the premises and the conclusion..

The fact that the universe is fine tuned is a widely accept fact amonst physicists. Its not like if they were different a different life form would come into existent.. not even carbon or any of the elements beyond helium or hydrogen would be possible without these fine tuning of certain conditions..

Coming to the idea that we might have been a mistake? Ya sure that is possible but that is not the point of the argument is it?

The vastness of the universe doesnt negate that there is indeed a small pocket here on earth (or possibility other planets) where there is evidence of design rather than chance... Its like saying the entire car is not designed for putting the audioset... So the audioset is probably not designed for this car... Its enough if it is should that even a small narrow spot is designed.. the argument still works...

[Mr.Nobody_]

Life is created around the universe not the universe was created around Life.

[newmannewman]

vimoh please also make all your videos in hindi/urdu, we need more sane voices in our native languages .

[musaaziri]

if some of the propreties of the universe were slightly different life wouldn't have been possible, not only for us as humans but for every kind of life; this is a pretty established concept which was and is accepted even by known atheists like Stephen Hawkings.

Now the point here is how do we explain it.
Chance is simply pathetic as an explanation.
Necessity is also unjustified as an explanation.
Therefore the best explanation and the more intuitive is intention.

It is not arrogance, it is simply the best explanation of the facts.

[rushikeshsapkal]

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you, one of the four horsemen of our own Indian subcontinent!!! Vimoh! 🙌 Take a bow!

[motherisape]

If you use logic it itself is mathmatics . Math is just language of logic.

[leonsukhgill]

i gave you peer reviewed article on afterlife and you haven't replied yet seems you don't have any argument against it
