Scoring the Universe: A Rubric for Cosmological Design

By now, you’re likely familiar with the multiverse hypothesis, which is actually just one of dozens of cosmological models proposed to explain away the significance of a beginning to the universe and the evidence for fine-tuning. But you may not know there’s a rigorous method to evaluate these models, which can prove helpful in understanding the flaws of each. On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his conversation about evaluating cosmological models with philosopher of physics Bruce Gordon and physicist Brian Miller. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Read More ›

Inscrutable Dice and Bean Jars: Answering Objections to Fine-Tuning

You’re likely familiar with the evidence for the fine-tuning of the universe, and you may be aware that there are several cosmological models attempting to explain away that fine-tuning, including the popular multiverse hypothesis. But did you know an ID scientist has developed a scientifically rigorous method for scoring those models? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a two-part conversation with philosopher of physics Bruce Gordon and physicist Brian Miller about Gordon's scoring system and how it evaluates the many models on offer that might explain the origin and development of the universe. This is Part 1 of 2. Read More ›

Priors & Proof: Brian Miller Unpacks the Meyer/Halper Debate

Are the Big Bang and the evidence for the fine-tuning of the universe evidence that supports theistic belief or undermines it? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes Dr. Brian Miller to give us a breakdown of a recent debate between philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer and science communicator Phil Halper about the Big Bang, the arguments for fine-tuning, and the compatibility of science and faith in general.
