    I could careless about recruiting you. It also doesn't change the fact we have pictures of the BB or that it is one of the stronest scientific theories in science. . What you believe or think doesn't change the fact of the matter for you or me. "With the scientific revolution, the work of...

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Not this universe but others. Perhaps this universe sprang from another and now with the CMB we have some ways of possible detection, thanks to the BB theory by the way. Its also physically possible to have another Bang in this universe were in now.

    We are in a huge scientific revolution right now, especially in biology but also in all fields of technology and it is accelerating rapidly.

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    So you don't personally believe it and "could not dream up any plausible idea of the cause" so its a miracle and God did it. Got it. Of course this "no body knows" apply's to God did it. Okay so skip the BB for the time being. How did the universe start in your opinion and why is it...

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Its funny to me you don't believe in the BB since we have an actual picture of it and the relic of light of the oldest light in the universe frozen in time, coming from everywhere in the universe, in very fine detail that shows a time when there were no stars or galaxies. Neither of these has...

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    I believe in religion, the fear of death plays a big part,. The fact we might lose "self" is discomforting. So long ago we came up with ideas to keep going after death and preserve our "Self." which turned into many different organized religions across the globe and philosophical ways of thinking.

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Most of that gets weeded out with peer review and time and most scientists don't do that in general even though some do. You could say that with religion, money and politics as well. "Politicians and the religious both use the word "Truth" in the same way." Mark Twain

    Spiny, I think I can save you some time here and say "be one with the universe."

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Your bring your personal bias and beliefs in. Again you can't show one thing that has consciousness without a nervous system. Name one! "Our physical consciousness is a ray of the One consciousness animating a finite form." A ray? finite form? I can make things up as well. Pink unicorns...

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Well you seem to imply there was no Big Bang and that we know happened. "But I understood that you said the math was there up to zero point," No I specially said the math breaks down then due to QM. I also mention they don't know exactly how yet. I want to make this very clear!!!!! However...

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Science has in the past killed superstitions and what was thought to be supernatural with natural explanations though. Humans have an amazing imagination and I believe for the most part that is a very good thing. But, I believe sometimes it can go overboard with individuals and collectively even.

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Not necessarily, it could be explained without supernatural causes, in fact recently there was an explanation without breaking any of the natural laws of physics. Although again a QM and cosmological theory combined is needed. We could all give up on the question though and just say "God did...

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    Come on Ben? We can go back in time to Planck time and then the math itself breaks down due to QM. You still, I believe are confused on the BB theory and the add on to the theory the Singularity. again its like abiogenesis and evolution, not the same. We do know for a fact the universe was...

    Natural vs. Supernatural: Real Distinction or Made-Up Crap?

    For the sake of argument if "God is light" does he have a speed limit due to the laws of nature? Its own laws? Does God have mass, does a God need to "think" if it knows everything already. Why is God a "he." in almost all religions. How does God exist? What created God? Pantheism believes...

    Natural vs. Supernatural: Real Distinction or Made-Up Crap?

    If we found a "God" using science then it would be natural. Supernatural is a term used for things outside the known universe and outside of nature.

    Natural vs. Supernatural: Real Distinction or Made-Up Crap?

    There are hypothesis mathematically of mutilverses and there are not proven and they would be natural by definition. There might also be a way to test for them, they are working on it for one from the light left over from the Big Bang.. So it would be "Beyond Our Universe" Not Beyond...

    Is the cosmos "fine-tuned"?

    "It is not understood yet by science. Physical matter composes only about 5% of the universe." So your saying the supernatural is dark energy and dark matter we don't fully understand yet? Which we see effects from like keeping the galaxies from flying apart, even though its being studied by...
