[quote:Lucky Charms:MV8yMTIxNTQyXzM1NzkzNDUxXzQ3MUFCMkZD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 33102584:MV8yMTIxNTQyXzM1NzkzMzU4XzNCODkxQ0RE] Mr. Penrose didn't factor that in. [/quote] Don't blame Penrose, he's being misrepresented here. Also he has stated that the data suggests there was a previous universe before the existence of the one we find ourselves in. [/quote]
Original Message
The fine tuning argument says there must have been a god. It was said that if the universe has had a change by 1 in 10^100 the universe wouldn't exist or would not be habitable for life. Roger Penrose who is a British mathematician said the chance of our universe to be coming to exist and being able to have life is 1 in 10^10^123. So in order for the universe to exist and be so finely tuned there must have been an incorporeal first cause that is omniscient, omnipresent, omnibenevolent and omnipotent. Those are the characteristics of a god.
