摘要
【Abstract】 Many philosophers and scientists take cosmological fine-tuning—roughly the fact that our universe would have been devoid of life if it had had slightly different cosmological parameters—to point to the existence of a designer or multiverse. Planetary fine-tuning—roughly the fact that our planet would have been devoid of life if it had slightly different intrinsic characteristics or relations to other objects in the solar system—points to the existence of many planets. It may seem that since astronomy independently confirms the existence of many planets, planetary fine-tuning is of less philosophical interest than cosmological fine-tuning. This paper shows that any such appearance is illusory by defending four arguments for the conclusion that our planetary fine-tuning evidence supports the existence of a multiverse.

【摘要】许多哲学家和科学家接受宇宙学微调，这一事实是，如果我们的宇宙的宇宙学参数略有不同，那将是没有生命的 - 指出了设计师或多元宇宙的存在。行星微调 - 如果我们的星球在太阳系中的内在特征略有不同或与其他物体的关系略有不同，那么这一事实将没有生命。似乎天文学独立地证实了许多行星的存在，所以行星微调比宇宙学微调的哲学兴趣较小。本文表明，任何这样的外观都是虚幻的，捍卫了四个论点，即我们的行星微调证据支持了多元宇宙的存在。
