  • “Nature is absurd,” jokes biologist Michael Denton, adapting a view expressed by physicist Richard Feynman. In saying so, Denton means to highlight what often seems to be the absurdly fine-tuned fitness of the properties of light, water, fire, and more, that allow for our existence.
    Dr. Denton gives a masterful and highly charming summary of the thesis of his new book, Children of the Light: Astonishing Properties of Sunlight that Make Us Possible, latest entry in the Privileged Species series. Learn more here: www.discovery....

    The more we learn the bigger the problem for atheists. Their problem is already insurmountable of course, but they have to constantly up their word gymnastics to levels that are so entertaining.
    Al hamdulillah (haleluja) I love and admire Allah (God).
    Thank you Micheal Denton you are the best non-fiction storyteller out there!

    The evolutionists use this as the anthropic principle, which doesn't hold water for me. They argue: "Our eyes are as they are because they are; we have adapted to the environment we found ourselves in."

    One of the miracles of nature is the fine-tuning of the fundamental constants of
    physics and cosmology. To appreciate this phenomenon, try simulating the tuning
    of six constants at UFTmachine.com. The focus is the what of fine-tuning not
    the why. Non-commercial, no tablet support.

    HOW MANY COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANTS ARE THERE? Every time I look, there seems to be more and more. I’m starting to wonder if even the cosmological constants (the number of them) necessary for life, we will find to be some absurd number?!

    This is one of the original masters and innovators folks. He knows more about how this world is put together than some schools out there
    How can we contact him is he on twitter ? More people need to start hearng this and not mylie cyrus for crying out loud lol

    When you hear a scientist explain the aspects of fine tuning of the universe showing intelligent design, you wonder how it isn't obvious to the many other scientists who study their particular fields

    Excellent video but there's one issue that I feel needs to be addressed: If we want to REALLY find the truth, we need to stop only looking to scientists of mainstream academia on issues like this. I understand the desire to interview accomplished scientists with degrees and a history of peer-reviewed work... because it appears to give him credibility to speak on the issue.
    However, this obsession with peer-review and credentials is precisely what got us into this mess in the first place. Scientism is a serious problem. If you look at the well-sourced Wikipedia page for Scientism, it says *It includes the excessive deference to the claims of scientists and the uncritical eagerness to accept anything described as scientific*
    What we should be respecting and promoting is knowledge and ability... not credentials and peer-review. Those are aspects of academia.
    Academia is controlled. You will find an amazing amount of truth, beyond just Intelligent Design, if you look for knowledge & truth OUTSIDE of mainstream academia.
    It's hard to find, but it's there. But the problem is: those in possession of this knowledge will not have fancy sounding degrees with a lengthy history of accomplishments within academia, so nobody seeks them out or takes them particularly seriously... despite the fact they have the correct answers.

    isn't that it is not the physics fine tuned for our body, but our body got fine tuned for the existing physics so it can function?

      There is no causal link between these qualities of nature and the genetic production of biological novelty, so no.

    ​Modern Quantum Physics has shown that reality is based on probability:

    A statistical impossibility is defined as “a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 1/10^50 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a Rational, Reasonable argument." The probability of finding one particular atom out of all of the atoms in the universe has been estimated to be 1/10^80. The probability of just one (1) functional 150 amino acid protein chain forming by chance is 1/10^164. It has been calculated that the probability of DNA forming by chance is 1/10^119,000. The probability of random chance protein-protein linkages in a cell is 1/10^79,000,000,000. Based on just these three cellular components, it would be far more Rational and Reasonable to conclude that the cell was not formed by un-directed random natural processes. Note: Abiogenesis Hypothesis posits that un-directed random natural processes, i.e. random chance formation, of molecules led to living organisms. Natural selection has no effect on individual atoms and molecules on the micro scale in a prebiotic environment. (*For reference, peptides/proteins can vary in size from 3 amino acid chains to 34,000 amino acid chains. Some scientists consider 300-400 amino acid protein chains to be the average size. There are 42,000,000 protein molecules in just one (1) simple cell, each protein requiring precise assembly. There are approx. 30,000,000,000,000 cells in the human body.)
    Of all the physical laws and constants, just the Cosmological Constant alone is tuned to a level of 1/10^120; not to mention the fine-tuning of the Mass-Energy distribution of early universe which is 1/10^10^123. Therefore, in the fine-tuning argument, it would be more Rational and Reasonable to conclude that the multi-verse is not the correct answer. On the other hand, it has been scientifically proven numerous times that Consciousness does indeed collapse the wave function to cause information waves of probability/potentiality to become particle/matter with 1/1 probability. A rational and reasonable person could therefore conclude that the answer is consciousness.
    A "Miracle" is considered to be an event with a probability of occurrence of 1/10^6. Abiogenesis, RNA World Hypothesis, and Multiverse would all far, far, far exceed any "Miracle". Yet, these extremely irrational and unreasonable hypotheses are what some of the world’s top scientists ‘must’ believe in because of a prior commitment to a strictly arbitrary, subjective, biased, narrow, limiting, materialistic ideology / worldview.

    Every idea, number, concept, thought, theory, mathematical equation, abstraction, qualia, etc. existing within and expressed by anyone is "Immaterial" or "Non-material". The very idea or concept of "Materialism" is an immaterial entity and by it's own definition does not exist. Modern science seems to be stuck in archaic, subjective, biased, incomplete ideologies that have inadequately attempted to define the "nature of reality" or the "reality of nature" for millennia. A Paradigm Shift in ‘Science’ is needed for humanity to advance. A major part of this Science Paradigm Shift would be the formal acknowledgment by the scientific community of the existence of "Immaterial" or "Non-material" entities as verified and confirmed by observation of the universe and discoveries in Quantum Physics.)

    According to modern discoveries in Quantum Physics, without Electromagnetism (Light), there is No atom, No matter, and No cosmos. Electromagnetism (Light) brings the physical universe into existence. Thus, Electromagnetism (Light) would not be material and would have to precede the existence of matter.

    Genesis 1:3
    And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
    1 John 1:5
    This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
    John 1:1-5
    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
