The Fine-Tuning Argument
Captions available
The idea
The fine-tuning argument: the physical constants fall within the narrow ranges that permit life; such precision is better explained by design than by chance.
In practice
Slightly alter gravity or the strong force, the argument runs, and no stars, no chemistry, and no life could ever form.
