In short, NO. Do we need to invoke an intelligent designer to explain why the natural forces are the way they are? NO. Science is still researching how the laws of physics are determined, but everything that we know today tells us its not the universe that is fine-tuned for life, but life, through evolution, that has fine-tuned itself for the universe.

Why do I spend time debunking these absurd creationist arguments? My goal is to produce a series of videos that attacks the problem of ignorance from two angles: 1) Tell people what science actually says, how science works, what we know and are still figuring out; 2) Tell people why each of the creationist arguments are wrong, thereby not ignoring their claims and seeming to hide from them. Also, its so easy, its fun.

Heres how the calculation was done. Total volume = volume of the Milkyway galaxy (radius = Milkyway to Andromeda galaxy / 2) so the volume = 6.88e66 cubic meters. The volume of the habitable space on earth (-2000m to +8000m) = 5e18 cubic meters. Assume 1e11 habitable worlds per volume like the Milkyway. Total habitable volume (5e29 cubic meters) per unit volume (6.88e66 cubic meters) gives 7.3e-38 universe is habitable.

  • @BestThought Hmm, guess you don't have a career any place important: an education--let alone an attention span--like yours wouldn't land you anywhere close to something that would hint scientific/mathematical knowledge.

    Life is lucky, by any conclusion. I'm proud to be alive. Creationists--especially Christians and Muslims--are afraid to live.

  • @pompousprick Futhermore, you should actually try to take your fingers out of your ears and slowly (because I know how painful it is) slide your head out of ass, dump your below-mental retardation idea that everything was designed just made for you (like the universe is some kind of Burger King motto) , and actually think about it.

  • I really hope this dude wins a Nobel Prize someday.

    Best channel on youtube.

  • Understand the fine tuning argument before you go and put together such an ignorant video.

  • lol this idiot can't explain why our universe is so perfect so he comes up with this retarded parallel universe argument. fucking atheists

  • This .00000000000000000000000000002­7% is not enough????? i still fucking have not seen..........................­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000099%yet

  • scientists no longer believe in the big bang.. now they have a new theory called the big bounce.. (google it )

  • @phuturephunk

    well i felt relieved at least thats a positive side right ? lol

  • @BestThought Your words aside, writing in all caps makes you look like a gigantic moron.

  • YOU FOOL DID YOU FIND ANY HUMANS ANY PLACE ELSE ? WE HAVE DISCOVERED SO FAR NEARLY 12 BILLION YEARS OF OUR UNIVERSE DID YOU SEE ANY TRACES OF LIFE ? NONE. SO WHY ARE WE SOOOO LUCKY TO BE ON THIS LITTLE BLUE SMUDGE!!! YOU UTTERLY DON'T MAKE SENSE :) ) YOU YOURSELF SHOULD "THINK ABOUT IT"
