Some thoughts on the Fine Tuning Argument

While reading “The Design Argument” I was thinking how one could use the fine tuning argument as a reason to promote conservationism and environmental awareness. The idea of irreducible complexity, if I understand it correctly, presents the laws of nature as like a circuit, one part dependent on the next and so on. If one part would break, then the circuit would not work. It make me think that the world is a delicate balance and we should work harder to respect the planet we live on. Also the objections to the fine tuning argument, that the rules of nature, like that of physics are fixed but the starting point is not, does not strike me as very strong. The fine tuning argument seems to try to present an idea to how design works in the place we live today. That our world is based on certain principles, theories and laws, not that another planet or other life forms couldn’t not have their own laws, principles, and theories. For this reason I also do not this the observational selection effect is not very helpful counter to the fine tuning argument. People to some extent bring in their own bias, its hard not to, however, we try to remain objective as possible and with others to check our theories and work, bias are checked as best as possible. Sometimes peoples particular experiences help them to see something in a different light others would not. The observational selection effect seems weak to me.
