Neil Sinhababu (Am Philos Q 54(1):89–98, 2017) has recently argued against the fine-tuning argument for God. They claim that the question of the universe’s fine-tuning ought not be ‘why is the universe so hospitable to life?’ but rather ‘why is the universe so hospitable to morally valuable minds?’ and that, moreover, the universe isn’t so hospitable. For it is metaphysically possible that psychophysical laws be substantially more permissive than they in fact are, allowing for the realisation of morally valuable consciousness by exceptionally simple physical states and systems, rather than the complex states of brains. I reply that Sinhababu’s argument rests upon unsupported claims and that we have reason to doubt that an omnibenevolent God would make the psychophysical laws more permissive than they in fact are.

心理物理学定律是否经过微调？

Neil Sinhababu（Am Philos Q 54(1):89-98, 2017）最近反对为上帝进行微调的论点。他们声称宇宙微调的问题不应该是“为什么宇宙对生命如此友好？” 而是“为什么宇宙对具有道德价值的思想如此热情好客？” 而且，宇宙并不那么好客。因为在形而上学上，心理物理学定律可能比实际上更宽容，允许通过异常简单的物理状态和系统而不是大脑的复杂状态来实现具有道德价值的意识。我回答说，Sinhababu 的论点建立在没有根据的主张之上，我们有理由怀疑一位无所不在的上帝会使心理物理定律比实际上更宽容。
