Rumraket wrote:[Thiests] think they have a solution to the fine-tuning problem in physics. God did it, with magic. Which is of course unfalsifiable conjecture.
The possible solutions are generally taken to fall into one of chance, design or necessity. Any such solution that requires things external to the universe is "unfalsifiable conjecture". The situation here is no different for the physicist or the theist.

The same can be said of multiverse theory.
Fine-tuning is an interesting problem, trying to poo-poo it away with cliches isn't an interesting response.
