Abstract:
The Anthropic Principle suggests that the universe may have been designed for human life. This anthropocentric, anti-Copernican, notion elicits a variety of responses from scientists, including some elaborate attempts to invalidate it by trying to show that there may be an infinity of alternative universes. These attempts may be challenged as unreasonably speculative and presumptive. What emerges is the suggestion that cosmology may at last be in possession of some raw material for a postmodern creation myth. If the Anthropic Principle can be integrated with biological explanations of human origins, and the result joined to the traditional Biblical Creation story, what emerges is a possible recovery of a religiously traditional, yet scientifically coherent, creation story for our generation.

Abstract:
The fundamental constants of nature are tuned so delicately to support biological life and the coincidence is statistically so improbable that accidental origin of the known universe can be ruled out with certainty. The anthropic principle explains this contingency. The relationship with many-world holistic models is discussed.

This paper aims at a critical discussion and evaluation of a new version of the teleological or design argument for the existence of God advanced by Brandon Carter. In this discussion I shall concentrate on his claims and arguments to “Long Number Coincidences and the Anthropic Principle in Cosmology,”[1] limiting myself to what is called the Strong anthropic principle and leaving aside the even stronger Final anthropic principle. In his paper he makes the following fundamental claims respecting the Strong anthropic principle.

Abstract:
AbstractThe “anthropic principle” has grown from scientific and philosophical reflection on the unlikely combination of circumstances needed, from the moment of the Big Bang through evolutionary history, to produce human life as we know it. This article describes the anthropic principle, in its “strong” and “weak” forms. It concludes with some thoughts on the possible theological implications of the anthropic discussion. From a theological perspective, the anthropic principle can be seen as part of the ongoing human effort to employ myth in the construction of a cosmology. It suggests both a sense of the design of the universe as well a the possible need for a Designer with some purpose and overall plan.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to present anthropic principle, as well as most important formulation of this principle and to illustrate questions concerning mentioned principle. The same principle has proposed as effort to provide a satisfactory key to fundamentall philosophical problems which issu from modern theoretical physics and cosmology. Mentioned problems concern so-called ?fine tuned? universe, whose laws are suitably for evolution and survival of intelligent life forms. This paper reckon with widely metaphisics theory which issu from so-called ?anthropic coincidences? and show that most adequate approach to mentioned problems is principle of observation selection effects.

Full text
Abstract:
We consider the misuse of anthropic principles (being a serious research topic in contemporary cosmology) in the service of creationism, which became a commonplace in the modern agressive creationist discourse. Unfortunately the confusion rests on the fact that the disteleological nature of the anthropic reasoning is insufficiently known and elaborated in both philosophical and scientific circles. Specifically, mathematical and (astro)physical fine-tunings are shown to be entirely different concepts, and only the latter is observed in our universe. Anthropical coincidences in cosmology are empirical phenomena requiring scientific explanation, and one of the two explanatory hypotheses advanced is somewhat unfortunately dubbed the "design hypothesis". However, this has almost nothing in common with the creationist ideological construction known as the "intelligent design". This important distinction has not been sufficiently highlighted in the philosophical literature thus far. This particular case-study from the cosmological domain simultaneously highlights a more general problem we face in the modern world: aggressive advance of the ideological coalition between quasireligion and pseudoscience jeopardizes authentic interdisciplinary and intercul-tural dialogue, so necessary as the humanity faces serious existential risks, as the biggest challenge in its history on Earth.

Abstract:
Through its initiative to make thought efficient for a more secure investigation of nature, modernity will mark a methodology revolutionary step, leading among others to defining and pointing out the coordinates of scientific research, more than any other form of knowledge. This is how the scientific method of knowledge comes into brining. Modernity is what makes an obvious separation of science and theology, as two specific fields of human knowledge. A new paradigm of knowledge is fundamental, as well as the double quality of the philosopher - theologian and scientific, valid today and in the Middle Ages, they are as outdated. Science and theology, as different fields of human knowledge have in their being different objects and methodologies. The object of knowledge in science is the world, whereas in theology it is God, and then world. So that in modern science the anthropic principle was adopted.

Full text
Abstract:
According to the weak formulation of the anthropic principle, all fundamental physical constants have just such values that they enabled the origin of life. In this survey paper, we demonstrate also that the current value of the Hubble–Lemaître constant essentially contributed to the existence of humankind. Life on Earth has existed continually for at least 3.5 Gyr, and this requires very stable conditions during this quite long time interval. Nevertheless, as the luminosity of the Sun increases, Earth has receded from the Sun by an appropriate speed such that it received an almost constant solar flux during the last 3.5 Gyr. We introduce several other examples illustrating that the solar system and also our galaxy expand by a speed comparable to the Hubble–Lemaître constant.

Abstract:
The anthropic principle or the associated anthropic coincidences have been used by philosophers such as John Leslie (1989), William Lane Craig (1988) and Richard Swinburne (1990) to support the thesis that God exists. In this paper I shall examine Swinburne's argument from the anthropic coincidences. I will show that Swinburne's premises, coupled with his principle of credulity and the failure of his theodicy in The Existence of God, disconfirms theism and confirms instead the hypothesis that there exists a malevolent creator of the universe.

Full text
Abstract:
The successive versions of the anthropic cosmological principle reintroduced teleology in cosmology, articulating it with two forms of mechanical causality – probabilism and determinism. According to the thematic analysis of science proposed by Gerald Holton, we can say that teleology is the opposing thema (the antithema) of mechanical causality. A return of teleology easily creates suspicions because mechanical causality dominates contemporary science, and teleology is widely considered an obsolete kind of scientific reasoning. Furthermore, in the anthropic cosmological principle, teleology has a deep anthropocentric feature. From the thematic point of view, the teleology of the anthropic cosmological principle is in counter-cycle. However, the cyclical functioning of themata suggests that perhaps teleology is not forever condemned to the past or to a marginal presence in scientific thought.
