In reply to the discussion: Leonard Susskind - Is the Universe Fine-Tuned for Life and Mind? [View all]Humanist_Activist
(7,670 posts)The issue at heart is this assumption that the universe is fine tuned at all, particularly considering that the vast majority of it is uninhabitable. In addition, we lack both context and information as to how wide a range can possibly exist to still allow life and intelligence to arrive in the universe under different constants. Not to mention that life may arise not out of long chain carbon reactions but other reactions, with elements of slightly different properties, or things of this nature in a universe that isn't conductive to our life.
Its chauvinistic, to be frank about it, and it makes too many assumptions about what parameters are required for life to arise in a universe, the nature of that life, whether its intelligent, and our own knowledge of the universe we live in.
