Pong Messiah Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 While the editors were away, a shameful opinion piece slithered its way in to The Wall Street Journal. tl;dr: A bunch of talk about probability that puts G_d in the cracks to explain stuff that doesn't make sense, and goes further to take quotes from a bad/evil scientist and mathematician to give authority to the sick notion that there is a "creator" (i.e. dog-whistle for "G_d"). And he gets away with this garbage on Christmas, no less! Just disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 So many people have no grasp of probability theory. If the Universe weren't so "fine-tuned" that we wouldn't be here to observe and marvel at it slack-jawed, then we wouldn't be here to marvel at it slack-jawed. It's a circular argument. There's no reason why multiple Universes might not exist in parallel with this one, the vast majority of them empty and lifeless. So much for the anthropic principle.
