Özet

Fine tuning argument has been of interest in physics and philosophy to explain the existence of the universe which is best fit for life; however, it has not been extensively applied to biological sciences in particular molecular biology. Molecular biology is different from physics and mathematics as it has stochastic events and limited laws. Biological sciences should be revisited for constants and laws. Though, the systematic events in the cells bring on the possibility of fine-tuning in molecular biology. Cells systematically perform many molecular mechanisms at molecule, gene, and genome levels. This work focuses on the fine-tuning argument in the cell and the genome and suggests four parameters of excellences (fundamental contexts) for fine-tuning including 1) position, 2) interaction, 3) amount, and 4) time which occur at molecule, gene, genome and/or organism levels. These fine-tuning contexts are associated with each other and manage life together. Systematic cellular activities suggest that this complexity is managed by fine-tuning in the human’s molecular system.
