DAVID: This physicist says it doesn't exist:

David’s comment: This is a minority opinion. I don't have enough knowledge to refute him; the article is filled with if's, but should be read.

dhw: This is a devastating rebuttal of the fine-tuning argument, and thank you yet again for your integrity in presenting it. The argument is far too technical for me, but it will be very interesting to see the response from the establishment. (The overturning of established views always begins with minority opinions, though that doesn’t mean minority opinions are always right. Let us keep an open mind.)

Vic Stenger, now deceased, presented a book with much of these same arguments. I reviewed the objections a while ago here. There was little general acceptance. Presented because an open mind is required.
