Please note that the anthropic principle is not a scientific theory, it is a wild guess at why things might be what they are.

It is wholly equal to blind faith, and in no way superior to it.

So, by your logic, the anthropic principle is wholly equal to blind faith? Sure, its not strictly science, and more of a logical argument than a scientific experiment (much like my original post), but really? Equal to blind faith?

If you are that deluded, I'm not even going to bother arguing this. This is pointless. Go get yourself a source a bit better than Wikipedia and educate yourself.




Wikipedia has become a fairly good reference for these sorts of basic principles.

In terms of intellectual "worth thinking about"-ness, the anthropic principle may be more worthwhile than blind faith, but in terms of science, it is equally worthless.

You need to revise your understanding of how science works, or else you'll only continue to blunder around.
