I was asked by Ratio Christi—a group at Rutgers that I’ve spoken to a couple times in the past—to advertise the talk above. It will be on Feb 20th at 7pm, at the New Brunswick Theological Seminary. See this post on their Facebook page for more details.
It will be by (St?) Luke Barnes, a cosmologist who recently coauthored a book with Geraint Lewis, about the Fine Tuning of the Laws of Nature to permit live. I advertised their book on spec, before I read it, at the end of my own talk on Fine Tuning. I knew it was going to be worth reading because of the high quality of commentary on Luke’s blog, Letters to Nature. Luke is not afraid to critique foolish comments made by people on both sides, and his honesty in presenting the data is impeccable.
Over the holidays I read his book and wrote extensive notes in it (I never write in books!) and I will be posting a review of the book when I get around to it.
If anyone here decides to go, I’m sure you won’t regret it. Unfortunately I won’t be there since I have a prior commitment in India.
