The Fine Tuning Argument is Stronger Than Ever (With Jay Richards)

Is the universe fine-tuned for life? Or has the fine-tuning argument been defeated? In this conversation, Sean sits down with Dr. Jay Richards, a philosopher, co-author of The Privileged Planet, and one of the world's leading defenders of the fine-tuning argument to explore one of the most compelling cases for design today. Dr. Richards walks through how the fine-tuning argument has improved over 30 years and why even atheists like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins have admitted this is the argument that gives them pause.

Jay W. Richards, Ph.D., is Vice President of Social and Domestic Policy and the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute. Richards is author or editor of more than a dozen books, including the New York Times bestsellers Infiltrated and Indivisible; The Human Advantage; Money, Greed, and God, winner of a 2010 Templeton Enterprise Award; The Privileged Planet with Guillermo Gonzalez
