How many ways will naturalists find to evade the implications of cosmic fine tuning? Countless ways, if often seems, yet there is no escape.

On a new episode of ID the Future, physicist and CSC research coordinator Brian Miller talks with Sarah Chaffee about inflationary cosmology and the Big Bang. Dr. Miller analyzes different explanations for the shape of the universe, and demonstrates that these models require intricate fine tuning.
