The Anthropic Principle

The Anthropic Principle notes that the universe's physical constants seem fine-tuned for life. Change any slightly and stars, planets, or atoms couldn't exist. Some argue this proves design; others say we simply couldn't exist in a universe where we couldn't exist to observe it.
