Selfish Biocosm

• UFOs & Bogus Science

Kimberly Marlowe writes about the latest mix of wishful thinking and bad astrophysics. A review of James N. Gardner's The New Scientific Theory of Evolution: Intelligent Life Is the Architect of the Universe.

The Selfish Biocosm hypothesis proposes that the anthropic (life-friendly) nature of our universe came about as part of a predictable, provable "cosmic reproduction cycle." Or, as Gardner puts it with appropriate humility: "The universe we are privileged to inhabit" hosts intelligent life not as part of "meaningless accidents in a hostile, largely lifeless cosmos but at the very heart of the vast machinery of creation, cosmological evolution and cosmic replication."

I will say this only: Read "Words Made Flesh" by Ramsey Dukes. Even a skkkeptic like you, Rich, will feel where this cat comes from. To me, reading this article, I think: this guy wants to say what Dukes said, but with physics. NUKKAS!

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Selfish Biocosm. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
