Does a Fine-Tuned Universe Tell Us Anything about God?
The apparent fine-tuning of several fundamental parameters that determine the properties of our universe and make it hospitable to life is sometimes used as an argument for God from design. I review the concept of cosmic fine-tuning and critically examine the claim that God is its most probable caus...
