Fine-tuning vs theological design
Is Victor Stenger Right about Fine-Tuning?
The issue of fine-tuning has been falsely theologized, and the result is the failure to see that the question of the emergence, given such fine-tuning and assuming it is real, of life is part of the cosmological emergence of the universe itself. The obsession over the design argument threatens to make the obvious insight into a quagmire of metaphysics, and that is unnecessary.
Let’s face it, the design argument has been wrecked by the theological ID groups now current, with the result that noone can use it anymore.
Stenger is equally obsessed in reverse for this reason.

How do you know cosmological fine-tuning is falsely or unnecessarily theologized, and is simply a naturalistic “part of the cosmological emergence of the universe itself”, rather than a miracle of God? An increasingly large percentage of today’s scientists and cosmologists believe in an intelligent designer of the universe and life, and this is now an established one way trend. To understand this turn of events, including perspectives of many leading scientists, see Intelligent Design vs. Evolution — The Miracle of Intelligent Design.
