When Building Our Case for Intelligent Design, How Should We Think About Prior Probability?
Bayes’s theorem is a tool for modeling our evaluation of evidences to appropriately apportion the confidence in our conclusions to the strength of the evidence.
Considering the Fine-Tuning Argument from Probabilities
Many authors formulate the fine-tuning argument using probabilities and Bayesian analysis (e.g., Swinburne, Collins, Roberts, Barnes).
Examining the Fine-Tuning Argument by Elimination
In his article “Has the Multiverse Replaced God?” William Lane Craig presents the fine-tuning argument using the process of elimination.
Three Ways to Formulate the Fine-Tuning Argument: An Introduction
At the heart of fundamental physics are the laws of nature. These laws govern the interactions between fundamental particles.
Is Epicurus Smiling?
Eugene Koonin pointed out that any abiogenesis scenario requires a cosmological background theory against which any local event probabilities must be evaluated.
