Distinguished Professor of Philosophy; Chair, Department of Philosophy
Robin Collins is an American philosopher widely regarded as the foremost expert on the fine-tuning argument, which holds that the extraordinarily precise structure of the universe constitutes evidence for the existence of God. He holds undergraduate degrees in mathematics, physics, and philosophy (summa cum laude) from Washington State University and spent two years in a PhD program in physics at UT Austin before earning his PhD in philosophy from Notre Dame under Alvin Plantinga. He has written almost forty substantial articles and book chapters for leading academic presses.
