Abstract :
A cosmological naturalistic view pretends a logical relation between string theory and fine tuning, which has happened at the beginning this world and produced the situation for appearance and conservation of our life. The naturalistic view asserts that on the basis of string theory, multiple universes are probable, in which one may consist of primary laws, constants and conditions of life by chance, and can be sufficient for our life. Therefore such a situation in the universe needs no teleological explanation, rather chance is the alternative of its explanation by purpose, intelligence or predesignate. The present issue is to study and evaluate this claim. The method of discovery is biblical and that of evaluation is analytical. The result is however that the string cosmology is affected by several challenges and can never deny the need of teleological explanation of the universe.
