Question 15

Fine tuning

Answer 15

Fine tuning is a form of the teleological argument. It begins with the existence of dozens of physical constants whose values are such that even the slightest change would create a world that could not support life. Since these conditions are so exact and improbable, they could not be mere coincidence. Therefore, the fine tuning argument suggests a Designer.

Question 16

Evidential apologetics

Answer 16

Evidential Apologetics argue for biblical conclusions based on evidence in an inductive way, similar to the scientific method. The type of scientific method used is a forensic, which is similar to courtroom evidence. Forensic science collects evidence after the event (e.g. an autopsy) and seeks to find the most plausible explanation for the event. Such an argument does not claim to “prove” Christianity, but only to render it more probable than other alternatives.
