Undue bias against fine-tuning and its implications

The article states, "Theories requiring fine-tuning are regarded as problematic." It does not state why they are regarded as problematic. What is unspoken here is that fine-tuning implies that some sort of intelligent entity designed the Universe. For this to be regarded as problematic, science must have an undue bias against that possibility. Another manifestation of this bias is that science directs an undue portion of its resources toward disproving that possibility, when in fact it may be correct. 75.163.161.124 (talk) 14:02, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Unknowable anthropic claim

The article states: "This had led to the discovery that the fundamental constants and quantities fall into such an extraordinarily precise range that if it did not, the origin and evolution of conscious agents in the universe would not be permitted." There is simply no way to know this. In a universe with much different conditions than our own, life as we know it would probably not exist, but unfathomable other-worldly forms of life would almost certainly come into existence eventually. It may very well be that for every combination of fine-tuned cosmological parameters, there is a coinciding life-form. So the claim that "life would not be permitted" is absurd. 2001:480:91:FF00:0:0:0:16 (talk) 21:23, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

This is not true, because for every form of life you need complex structures. For complex structures to form, you need stable orbitals. stable orbitals are only possible if the natural constants are within a very small range. --MrBurns (talk) 12:43, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
