This whole "fine tuning" set of arguments strikes me as looking at the whole thing arse-about-face. Life has done pretty well on one planet in the entire universe. Now, there's a convincing set of arguments that emergent properties might lead to life on many planetary bodies (and the evidence is starting to take shape that life may well have moved between bodies in our Solar System), but for now, we only know for sure that life exists on one planet. Anywhere. Even most of our planet is bloody dangerous for humans... This continent certainly is. Charlie _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
