This week we take a look to see if the multiverse can save naturalism from the impossible mathematical problem posed by fine tuning in the universe.  Fine tuning is another fingerprint of a Creator who loves you! Problems with the multiverse:1.      Where did the universal generator come from2.      Fine tuning of the universal generator to get around fine tuning?3.      Energy to feed the universal generator 4.      The universal generator can’t be past eternal5.      The lottery problem of actually getting an infinite number of different universes rather than an infinite number of universes where the same characteristics are repeated  “The physical constants, things like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, the strong and weak force things, physicists agree, most physicists agree, that if you change any of those constants by even a very, very small amount, than we don’t come into existence.  The universe doesn’t come into existence.  They have to be like that in order for galaxies to form, for stars to form, for chemistry to form actually.  And then for the prerequisite for life to evolve, need that as well.  So that is the nearest approach to a good argument.”  Richard Dawkins, Fine-tuning is a good argument for God - Richard Dawkins - YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apWOkC7krfQ  “The [anthropic-design argument] and what it points to is of such an order of certainty that in any other sphere of science, it would be regarded as settled.  To insist otherwise is like insisting that Shakespeare was not written by Shakespeare because it might have been written by a billion monkeys sitting at a billion keyboards typing for a billion years.  So it might.  But the sight of scientific atheists clutching at such desperate straws has put new spring in the step of theists.”  Longley, C. (1989). Focusing on Theism. London Times, 10.
