Stenger twists science. In this new finding fine tuning is shown to be finer!-
"In new lattice calculations done at the Juelich Supercomputer Centre the physicists found that just a slight variation in the light quark mass will change the energy of the Hoyle state, and this in turn would affect the production of carbon and oxygen in such a way that life as we know it wouldn't exist.-"The Hoyle state of carbon is key," Lee says. "If the Hoyle state energy was at 479 keV or more above the three alpha particles, then the amount of carbon produced would be too low for carbon-based life.-"The same holds true for oxygen," he adds. "If the Hoyle state energy were instead within 279 keV of the three alphas, then there would be plenty of carbon. But the stars would burn their helium into carbon much earlier in their life cycle. As a consequence, the stars would not be hot enough to produce sufficient oxygen for life."-http://news.ncsu.edu/releases/tpleeanthropic/-The Hoyle State is named after Sir Fred Hoyle who discovered the way stars make carbon from helium, which then leads to oxygen. Hoyle went from atheist to deist/theist as he learned the intricices of fine tuning.
