Curator note: the omnipotence / no-constraint objection

Formulation supplied by the wiki’s curator in conversation, 18 October 2026; recorded as the basis for §10 of fine-tuning-argument. This is the curator’s own argument, not a published source.

The critique, as supplied:

that theism does not constrain the possible kinds of universe to our one at all: God does not need to fine-tune constants in order to create life.

God is omnipotent, so God is not forced to create a Universe in which the constants need fine-tuning for life.

God can create life in Universes where:

• constants don’t allow life
• constants allow life within a wide range of possible values
• constants need to be fine-tuned in order to not enable life
• there are no constants in the physical laws
• all possible values of the constants enable life
• there are no physical laws at all

Which scenario is expected under the God hypothesis?

Is a Universe governed by naturalistic laws less expected under naturalism?

Is heaven expected to be governed by naturalistic laws?

(If God is not omnipotent, then I am not sure why we should call “him” God. A restricted creator exists within a system that restricts “him”, so being the foundation and even necessary cause of that system is less likely.)
