"If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the universe would have recollapsed before it ever reached its present size."

Stephen Hawking, A Brief History Of Time, Bantam Press, London: 1988, p. 121-125

    ....There is no consensus amongst cosmologist as to when the Universe will reach heat death, but all will agree it won't happen for an extremely long time. Some say as long as 1^1000 years, which is a staggering figure.

    Only very poor reasoning can lead someone to conclude the Universe is not fine-tuned because it only lasts that long and not longer or even forever.

  • @Aguijon1982

    ....argument is very poor is because it's basically saying that anything that does not 'endure forever' is poorly designed, which is absurd. Every single human artifact will eventually undergo complete annihilation, are they also products of poor design? Is my computer, television and car poorly designed? How about the LHC, space shuttle and international space-station? The Universe will last exceedingly longer than any of these things.

    .....

    ...."because the universe is not fine tuned for life, its fine tuned to destroy itself and to die."

    You keep rolling out bad argument after bad argument. Here you are invoking the Hitchens "heat death" argument, which is extremely poor. The argument basically states that the Universe is probably not designed/fine-tuned because if it were it would be a poor design because it ends up in ruins when it reaches heat death. The reason why this....

  • @Aguijon1982

    Recent scientific data suggests that life is built into the laws of physics — if true there will be no arguing with the notion that the Universe is fine-tuned for life.

    Ah is that so? Well "Einstein"... then, i have bad news for you...because the universe is not fine tuned for life, its fine tuned to destroy itself and to die.

  • @Aguijon1982

    ...Supernovae and black holes are actually evidence for a fine-tuned Universe for life. Unfortunately many atheists don't realize this because they aren't well read.

    How the former planet Pluto is evidence against fine-tuning is beyond me and the "void" you talk about doesn't make any sense.

  • @Aguijon1982

    ...This is a great cosmic cycle that takes place all the time throughout the Universe.

    Yes, the solar system that the supernova star gets destroyed, but not until after billions of years. The final result is more positive as many new solar systems are born.

    As for black holes. They merge and form super-massive black holes, which bind galaxies together just as stars keep planets and moons in harmonious orbits around them.

  • @Aguijon1982

    Supernova's play an important role to life:

    As stars supernova over a dozen of the heaviest elements are created in a process called supernova nucleosynthesis. Without these elements life could not exist. These elements end up getting stored in molecular clouds. The shock waves of these supernovae cause molecular clouds to collapse due to their gravitational instability, which transform into new solar systems.
