The fallacy of fine-tuning

Why the Universe Is Not Designed for Us
Book • 2011
In this book, Victor Stenger challenges the idea of cosmic fine-tuning, arguing that the universe's laws and constants can be explained by natural principles rather than requiring a designer or the existence of a multiverse.

He contends that symmetry laws and other basic principles are sufficient to derive the basic laws of the universe, making fine-tuning unnecessary.

Stenger also addresses various criticisms and alternative explanations, including the multiverse hypothesis and intelligent design arguments.
