The religion of atheism got some bad news recently. It came with survey on the questions, Why is there any life at all on planet earth? That’s always been a tough question for atheists but it is especially hard today because one thing modern science has concluded is the so-called fine tuning of the universe.
What’s that? There is an exquisitely narrow range of values that render our universe life-permitting. If these constants and quantities were altered by the tiniest amount life could not exist. How fine? If gravity were slightly stronger or weaker by a fraction of 1 in 10⁶⁰, that is 10 with 60 zeroes after it, stars would either burn out instantly or never form at all. That’s pretty fine.
Now to the bad news: A recent survey of physicists showed that a majority of them believe fine-tuning is simply a brute fact and they offer no explanation for how it happened. It is time to admit there is really only one explanation. The universe had a designer. It is fine-tuned because he fine-tuned it. It is time for the God-critics to give in and admit He exists and that He is the Creator of the universe.
