Note Forrest's concept of fine-tuning includes being within a factor of
three, and and having a value small compared to 1 with nothing to
compare it too. That's why Vic's book would be a good corrective.

Dissolving 'fine-tuning' by hypothesizing a multiverse of infinite
'tunes' is not appealing. For one thing, we cannot make any
observations of other universes.
So let's say we have this *one universe*. That's it, and that's all
that ever will be.
Then 'fine-tuning' is still a mystery, but matter is a mystery
already. Why should 'fine-tuning' be any special problem?

Nice find, but Michael Forrest's paper should have related
something more naturally plausible:

We should send a copy of Vic's "The Fallacy of Fine-Tuning" to
Forrest.

At least we know *consciousness* exists in at least one place
(inside our skulls, though there are deniers)

The originating Topic 'quantum foam' became 'religious myth'.
