Multiverse scientists support the claim that the constants vary by using fine tuning—yes, fine-tuning—the very same evidence we use for the existence of God. While it might sound strange that we come to the opposite conclusion based on the exact same evidence, this episode shows how it’s possible. Since multiverse scientists harbor a hidden premise their entire line of reasoning makes sense. But when this unjustified premise is dropped, it becomes clear that fine tuning points directly to the existence of God.
