Multiverse hypothesis better explains fine‑tuning than divine design

Quotation

Many physicists (e.g., Susskind [2005], Greene [2011], Tegmark [2014]) and philosophers (e.g., Leslie [1989], Smart [1989], Parfit [1998], Bradley [2009]) regard this line of thought as suggesting the inference to a multiverse as a rational response to the finding that the conditions are right for life in our universe despite the required fine-tuning.

Quotation

Some versions of the multiverse hypothesis therefore provide a simple explanation for any fine-tuning, while the analysis of Wang and Braunstein challenges the view that this universe is unique in its ability to support life.

Andrew Loke argues that there are only five possible categories of hypotheses concerning fine-tuning and order: (i) chance, (ii) regularity, (iii) combinations of regularity and chance, (iv) uncaused, and (v) design, and that only design gives an exclusively logical explanation of order in the universe.
