Multiverse Show 2: Fine-tuning fights back! Luke Barnes & Max Andrews

from Unbelievable? · host Justin Brierley

Following a recent show in which both guests argued in favour of the multiverse, Justin is joined by Luke Barnes, an Australian physicist whose new book ‘A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos’ makes the case for the fine tuning of our universe for life and is co-written with Geraint Lewis.  Luke is sceptical of the ability of multiverse theory and its ability to solve the riddle of fine tuning and explains why.   Max Andrews is a PhD student researching the philosophy of the multiverse. He unpacks some of his research on the implication of the ‘quantum’ theory of the multiverse for theology and fine tuning.  For A Fortunate Universe: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fortunate-Universe-Finely-Tuned-Cosmos/dp/1107156610 For Luke Barnes https://letterstonature.wordpress.com For Max Andrews http://sententias.org/ The Rethinking Hell Conference 2016 http://www.rethinkinghellconference.com/ Order Unbelievable?
