The fine-tuning of the universe
Some interesting posts on the question of fine-tuning of the universe, which many believers point to as evidence of supernatural origins.
It doesn't look like he has completed the series, but I thought this one was particularly interesting. (There's a lot of other good stuff on this site as well, he writes for
http://lesswrong.com/ which has a theme of rationality and decision making)
http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=12466He basically asks why fine-tuning for
life requires a special explanation, while fine-tuning for other things apparently does not. "Life chauvinism," he calls it. It seems like a valid point to me.
