Summary

The most recent scientific evidence shows that the universe had to be incredibly "fine tuned" in its fundamental constants to allow life.  Is this the ultimate proof of a designer God?  Nicholas Beale believes so.  He is the co-author of "Questions of truth" (WJK) with Christian physicist John Polkinghorne.  Atheist Julian Baggini argues against Nicholas' conclusion.
