Letter: Vanishing brains

Published 26 March 2014

From Adrian Ellis

Silk’s article mentions both the fine-tuning problem and Boltzmann’s “well-ordered universe” problem. There is a logical conclusion that resolves both these problems: that the universe is a construction. This answer may look to be a theistic cop-out, but it does seem scientifically sound.
