PAUL DAVIES

[napatunsaga]

what does physicist paul davies think of the finely tuned universe?does he believe in God?but in his writings, he evokes God.example There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all .. . It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature's numbers to make the Universe ... The impression of design is overwhelming.on the one hand, he says there is no God.

Happy Birthday.

I have been reading his books for years. Good stuff. He is a theist of course though not, for example, an orthodox Christian (or any formal body of theological thought). The arguments (well, many) from fine tuning are very solid. After decades as an astronomer the sum total of such facts led me to God - it became obvious to me that it is the theory that fits the evidence the best.

The problem is that ‘some as yet not understood intelligence’ gets conflated with ‘God’ and buried under a mountain of superstition and cultural relics.

Yes.That is why I roll my eyes here, at least inwardly, so often when reading posts about God. But hey, to each her own.

What existed before the big bang?is the universe cyclical infinity?

Great questions. Right now we can't answer either of those though both are beside the point IMHO.

Buddha agreed with @Regiomontanus on those questions. He called them ‘imponderable’, and suggested they were useless, and drove some people crazy.
No answers are required, if even possible.

Why do you think there *was* a 'before the Big Bang'?

There is no 'north of the North Pole'.

 

[napatunsaga]

There is no 'north of the North Pole'.

Big bang cause ???

If the answers to those questions were known then the current answer that we have of 42, would perhaps be redundant.

And Great Big Happy Birthday to you

 

[Polymath257]

Big bang cause ???

Why do you think there *was* a cause? If there was no time before the Big Bang, there could not be a cause, could there?

 

[napatunsaga]

Why do you think there *was* a cause? If there was no time before the Big Bang, there could not be a cause, could there?

then how did it happen?

What that mean 42???

 

[Polymath257]

then how did it happen?

The word 'how' has two different meanings: one asks for a cause, the other asks for a description.

For the Big Bang, it is possible that there was no cause if there was no time 'before'. This is actually what happens mathematically in the simplest Big Bang models.

On the other hand, the Big Bang model *is* the description of what happened, as far as we know.
