THE MOST GOLDILOCKS IN ALL OF PHYSICS
_______________

The fine-tuning of the universe is one of the most compelling arguments for the existence of God. Fine-tuning refers to the “just right” initial conditions that were set into the equations that govern physics and how they effect life.

One of the most finely tuned parameters in physics is the entropy of the universe. It refers to the initial low entropy state of the universe, which was necessary for the existence of life. If the Big Bang Theory is correct and the universe started with a massive expansion, our newly formed universe was not a chaotic soup of energy and matter. It was quite the opposite, it was orderly. This is because of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This law states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state. This direction towards disorder is called entropy.

The entropy of the universe was fine-tuned to such an exquisite degree. Physicist Roger Penrose estimated that the odds of the initial low entropy orderly state of our universe occurring by chance are on the order of 1 in 10 raised to the 10th power then raised to the 123rd power. [1] This number is absolutely unfathomable odds, even in the world of physics and mathematics. Basically, there would be a VERY large number of universes in which the entropy would be so chaotic in the beginning that it would be uninhabitable for life; before one is formed that could sustain life.

This leads to the view that the equations that govern physics and in turn life were designed to be just right for life to exist.
