Design Points to a Designer:  A worthwhile (and short!) video on the fine-tuning of the universe.

2/10/2015

Last session in our Apologetics class on Sunday afternoons, we responded to this question: Does God Exist?  And Does it Matter?  As part of that, we looked at some of the traditional "arguments" that cumulatively make the case for God's existence: the ontological argument (getting to God from the very idea of God itself), the cosmological argument (getting to God from origins), the teleological argument (getting to God from design), the moral argument (getting to God from "ought"), etc.

In talking about the teleological argument, I ran across this great video at William Lane Craig's site, Reasonable Faith.  The video is less than 7 minutes long, and does a good job at making a case for God from design in a way that is both accessible and appropriately thorough.  Check it out:

Actually it's this fine tuning that makes me a believer in God above
anything else. That is probably my core reason. You can take the Bible away but this will always stay. I know that there are arguments against this fine tuning like the multiverse hypothesis (the multiverse hypothesis claims that there are many other universes in addition to our own and if the number of these universes is extremely large, it would be less surprising that one of them would happen to provide the specific conditions for life). The problem with this theory is that there is no guarantee that the process which produced all of these universes would randomly set all of the parameters in such a way that every possibility is realized. Great post Tim !!
