Multiple physical properties turn out to require incredibly precise values for stars, planets, and life to exist. I am particularly intrigued by how weirdly easy it is for stars to produce carbon, an atom that turns out to have no equal in its ability to support life, and the cosmic distribution system for supplying that carbon to planets.

I am joined in this episode by Dr. Luke Barnes, co-author of A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos, to talk about fine tuning, evidence for a Creator, and if fine tuning is compatible with a fallen creation.
