I am interested to see how Susskind argues against fine-tuning.

Surely he's going to jump on the multiverse bandwagon with the rest of the crackpot theorists that support string theory.

Lee Smolin is clos(er) to the truth.

WOW... whoa!... I've been looking into this a little bit, and as I understand it, Lenny is going to argue against string theory!

No way, that can't be right is my first reaction, but if I'm really getting the straight scoop, then look out, because he's not going to argue against fine-tuning, he's going to say that the solution to the "apparent" fine-tuning is based on the anthropic principle, but is the "opposite" of the Intelligent Design.

Like... natural design... that's perpetually inherent to the energy of the universe???

Big Deal, I've already said that's what it's about... "Alfie"

I do have to ask--you aren't claiming that Jesus' (nor 2 Timothy 3:16) reference to the inspiration of scripture applies to the NT are you?
