This paper defends a novel sceptical response to the fine-tuning argument for the existence of God (FTA). According to this response, even if FTA can establish, what I call, the confirmation proposition: ‘fine-tuning confirms the God hypothesis’, there is no reason to think that a strengthening of FTA can establish the evidence-favouring proposition: ‘fine-tuning favours the God hypothesis over its competitors’. My argument is that, any criteria for the explanation of fine-tuning that permit us to take the God hypothesis seriously ought to make us sceptical that fine-tuning favours the God hypothesis over its competitors. As taking the God hypothesis seriously requires us to give a fair hearing to all sorts of non-theistic explanations, including the so-called weird sorts of atheism.

微调,奇怪的无神论和证据偏袒

本文为对上帝存在的微调论点 (FTA) 的一种新颖的怀疑回应辩护。根据这个回应,即使FTA可以建立,我所说的确认命题:'微调确认上帝假设',没有理由认为加强FTA可以建立证据支持命题:'很好-调整偏好对竞争对手的上帝假设。我的论点是,任何允许我们认真对待上帝假设的微调解释标准都应该使我们怀疑微调是否有利于上帝假设而不是其竞争对手。认真对待上帝假设要求我们公平地听取各种非有神论的解释,包括所谓的怪异无神论。
