Prosblogion: Physicist Sean Carroll on God and Modern Physics

Kenny Pearce at Prosblogion comments on Sean Carroll's essay, "Does the Universe Need God?", which we linked to a couple of days ago.


The article is a model of constructive dialog between philosophy and
physics. Carroll shows engagement with the major philosophical arguments
under discussion, and does not come off as condescending or dismissive.
He also provides concise and helpful summaries of the relevant physics.
Additionally, the article shows an admirable degree of epistemic
humility, noting that there are many unsolved problems in physics and
that our theory of the early universe is not polished and completed,
while still arguing that we have enough information to shape our views
on origins. The article is quite readable, and would certainly be
helpful for students.
