I've read many of his books and I've never seen this. I'd be interested in seeing the full set of calculations. [/quote] Just google it. [/quote] Did [i]you[/i] bother to do that? Ok, I'll stop beating around the bush. Penrose never said any such thing. That's all. [/quote] I believe he did unless people on the Internet are lying. [/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.
