MEMO COPY -- why we are _here_

[Kent Paul Dolan]

in talk.origins appears:

This lovely paper, in honor of (the author of)
arguments apparently first posed _before_ Newton
published his Principia, on why we are _here_ to
observe the universe, arguing against intelligent
design and in favor of an anthropic selection
effect, will probably resonate most especially for
John Wilkins, since it is expressed in a
metaphysical context.
