“Fine-tuning of Universal Constants and Implications of Transcendent Intelligence”

"Recent work by leading cosmologists shows remarkable fine-tuning for life in the constants and initial conditions of our universe. The probability of this occurring by pure chance is exceedingly miniscule, requiring special explanations – such as a multiverse, a higher dimensional string universe, a bouncing universe, or transcendent intelligence. Fr. Spitzer will examine each hypothesis, showing the likelihood of transcendent intelligence.”

He will reference his article, “Fine-tuning and Indications of Transcendent Intelligence” in the Macmillan Reference Volume: Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments In Philosophy (edited by Joseph Koterski, S.J. and Graham Oppy).
