  • Here's the dilemma: if the universe began with a quantum particle blipping into existence, inflating godlessly into spacetime and a whole zoo of materials, then one wonder why it is so well suited for life. For medieval philosophers, the purported perfection of the universe was the key to proving the existence of God. The universe is so fit for intelligent life that it must be the product of a powerful, benevolent external deity. Or, as popular theology might put it today: all this can't be an accident. Modern physics has also wrestled with this "fine-tuning problem," and supplies its own answer. Here, Rubenstein explores this controversy that has been raging for thousands of years.
