Luke Barnes: How the Fine Tuning of the Universe points to a Divine mind

Astrophysicist Luke Barnes explains why we instinctively sense that the fine tuning of the Universe for life points towards a mind beyond the cosmos.

If you could, you guys should get Robert Lawrence Kuhn of Closer to Truth on the show!

You can tune a piano; but you can't tuna fish.

While I am not a proponent of the finetuning argument, it is clear that the universe is the result of a divine mind. Nothing else even comes remotely close in explanatory power or explanatory scope. To think otherwise is to engage in an irrational project of hopeless absurdities, flourish in gaps of human knowledge, and to engage in a line of thought that must reject reality and the facts we observe.

God is real folks, and God is, as they say, keeping it real.

God loves you. Be blessed.

What can be inferred about God from a study of the World?
Replied Haldane, “He seems to have an inordinate fondness for beetles!”

We know the universe is amazing. But God is even more amazing. Much more !
We know that pots are made by a potter, but which is more difficult to explain ?
Surely the pot is easy to explain. It was made by a potter. But who made the potter ?
The potter has an explanation, but it is much more complicated than the history of a pot.

The Bible is a security blanket and science tells you that you can keep your security blanket but not to suffocate yourself with it.

Bertrand Russel was wrong in that he couldn’t even explain his own consciousness

[ruicerejeira]

I would like to ear someone talking about Leonard Krauss theory

[bustinjieber]

Fine tuning doesn't point to god but natural process. The idea of God would make sense If there would be something that wouldn't follow natural patterns

[jerklecirque]

The God character either wants to be detected or He does not. If He does not, then He cannot be detected. If He does, then why isn't He more evident? Why does one need to appeal to advanced physics to make the case?

[garyhughes]

The universe is a mystery. So too is the intricate workings of the ecosystem (and a hummingbird). Reflect upon this for a while and you will conclude there is a mind at work. This mind is God.

I’m with Russell: ‘We’re all accidental collocations of atoms.’

[JungleJargon]

Nothing can make itself. Nothing can direct itself... so everything has to be of a supernatural cause.

[walterdaems]

The whole universe demonstrates perfect indifference so if that’s the nature of god we can happily live or lives as if god is non existent

[JD-roxe]

If there are a hundred things that make you think the world is fine tuned by a creator, there are a hundred other things that make you think there can't be a creator - at least one with some sense of morality.
Here is one:
A world in which a creature has to kill and eat another in order to survive cannot have been created by a moral creator.

[garybala]

Why does God love poor people? Because God made a multiverse with so many of them in it.

[cygnusustus]

"Why do most people who've ever lived, and who still live, believe that there's a god."
Uhm...why to they believe in different gods?
Why do they believe in polytheism?
Why do they believe in animism?
Why do they believe in deism?
It's pretty obvious that the answer is not "because there is a god", but because we are creatures who seek explanations for phenomena.

[tedgrant]

As we all know, God can work miracles. Anything he likes under any conditions.
So he could create a dinosaur on the moon and enable it to live without water for a million years.
If you think that is impossible, then you are underestimating God !
Remember, Peter walked on water to go to Jesus. Impossible ?

[davespond]

The bad fine tuning idea, suggests the universe was created for rocks, lots and lots of rocks.

Also no one can stand in front of the holy God unfortunately bc no one is perfect. Blood is where the life is, God son died for you (demigod) with His blood now you can stand in front of the God without receiving permanent death & have eternal life in paradise. You don't need to do steps or do this or that or become vain trying to achieve or become like a god (enlightenment) bc there is only 2 religions the one You need to achieve or the other single one that God already achieved for you..
Seek Truth

An embarrassment to humanity and logic to pretend a god exists and pretend origins answer is a god with no origin ..
