The "weak" Anthropic Principle is clearly true. However it has no explanatory power.

The "strong" Anthropic Principle is not clearly true and has no scientific basis.

The anthropic principle is often criticized for lacking falsifiability and therefore its critics may point out that the anthropic principle is a non-scientific concept, even though the weak anthropic principle, "conditions that are observed in the universe must allow the observer to exist",[10] is "easy" to support in mathematics and philosophy (i.e., it is a tautology or truism).
