"In the most general
terms, we claim that the relation between fine-tuning and the theory of design is
hypothetico-deductive, if there is a designer, this fact explains the
fine-tuning and is thereby confirmed.
More specifically, our claim is that given a theological research
program that includes the theory that the universe was created (designed) by a
God whose aim was personal relations with sentient beings, the fine tuning of
the universe can be seen to provide novel confirmation, in Imre Lakota's
terms" (Murphy and <!g>Ellis, p. 63).
