SUMMARY:A Philosopher's Perspective on Anthropic Fine-Tuning - Dr Tim Maws
 on\, Oxford University

UID:TALK26638@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Zoe Binns
DESCRIPTION:It is sometimes said that our universe is ‘fine tuned’ for
  life such as ours. Dr Mawson will give his perspective on whether or not 
 there is a sense in which we may truly and with justification say such a t
 hing\; whether or not we may use fine tuning to judge the probability of o
 ther universes being actual (multiverse hypotheses) and to judge the proba
 bility of God’s being actual (the ‘God hypothesis’ if you will). He 
 will argue that a ‘Fine-Tuning’ version of the Design Argument does in
 crease the rationality of belief in God on its premises\, premises which 
 – whilst controversial – are not implausible.
