And just to stir the pot some more, isn't it odd how much anthropomorphism goes into scientific explanations?

Well jeepers, what on earth could you expect otherwise? There would be no science at all were there not human minds to "mediate it."

To me, disparagement of the "anthropic principle" is totally jejune.... Not to mention pointless: The only world human beings know is the one reflected through human minds.

How's that for "stirring the pot?" LOLOL!!!

Thanks so much for writing, dear grey_whiskers!

What's funny is that in their haste to discredit the weak anthropic principle, the militant secularists have retreated into cosmology of repeated spawning of universes, each with arbitrary values for physical constants, thus "guaranteeing" after enough trials that there will be at least one which is capable of supporting life; left indeterminate is if there ever will be a rigorous way of interacting with the other multiverses.

Talk about your Occam's razor violations! (needlessly multiplying *universes* not just entities); and it prompts the counterquestion of how they have any proof of the various underlying theories which are supposed to make multiverses possible : hint -- the word so-beloved of those who hate God and are willing to do ANYTHING to deny knowledge of him is called "fal-si-fi-a-bil-ity".

I have yet to see any of them suggest a feasible experiment which would be able to unambiguously falsify these cosmologies.

oist, meet petard, or something.

(The usual response is a blistering, frothing-at-the-mouth ad hominem.)

Cheers!

Darwinians can’t help anthropomorphizing the theory, being that the dullest of them are still anthropomorphs.

“........For the materialist to place an arbitrary limit with regard to what the human being may know and experience is purely arbitrary and incoherent, for what is the principle that says we may only know this truth but not that truth, or this reality but not that?”
