The fine-tuning argument is one of the most popular arguments for theism, based on the observation that the constants of nature appear 'fine-tuned' to within a narrow range that enables life to exist. In this video I argue that the fine-tuning argument fails for three reasons. First, the argument unjustifiably focuses exclusively on constants while ignoring the equations that give relevance to those constants. Second, we do not know what possible conditions life could exist in if the constants of nature were different. Third, apologists have failed to provide clear and convincing reasons why god would be likely to fine-tune a universe for embodied life. I show how apologetic responses are undermined by lack of imagination and double-standards, rendering the fine-tuning argument an unconvincing argument for theism.
