Scientists continue to find more and more evidence that the universe is finely tuned for complex life. Many even refer to it as a “Goldilocks Universe” because the parameters for the universe as well as the position of earth in our solar system and galaxy are “just right.”

Paul Davies is a physicist with a PhD from University College London and postdoctoral work at the University of Cambridge. He explains: “There is now broad agreement among physicists and cosmologists that the universe is in several respects ‘fine-tuned’ for life.”

Scientists have observed and documented the fine-tuned parameters of the universe for some time. Many years ago, British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle observed: “A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature.”

The precision of the fine-tuning is something that physicists find fascinating. There are lots of examples that scientists have used to explain it. Michael Turner, astrophysicist at the University of Chicago and Fermilab uses the following analogy. “The precision is as if one could throw a dart across the entire universe and hit a bulls eye one millimeter in diameter on the other side.”

Robert Jastrow was the founding director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Although he called himself an agnostic, he nevertheless wrote a book with the provocative title God and The Astronomers. In the last chapter before the epilogue, he wrote: “For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

All this evidence of design in the universe, certainly points to a Designer. I’m Kerby Anderson, and that’s my point of view.
