Erik Curiel explains the challenges in making assessments of probability by making assumptions about the space of universes--or cosmological...
Natalja Deng: What Kind of Fine-Tuner?
Natalja Deng discusses whether the apparent fine-tuning of the universe for life can be evidence for a divine creator. Natalja Deng (Yonsei...
Simon Friederich: Fine-Tuning for Life in the Universe, A Panoramic View
Simon Friederich reviews the challenges that arise in using empirical evidence that the universe is tuned for life to evaluate multiverse hy...
