Thank you so much for your reply! Here's more hugs and a *smooch* just for you!

If you are interested in progress on the anthropic principle you might want to check out this website.

But merely because the initial relationships could be described, and put into equation form, wouldn't prove that someOne (or someThing) wrote that equation ab initio.

In other words, are you saying that it requires no intelligence to formulate an algorithm, i.e. process, conditionals, symbolization and recursives --- that such an algorithm can arise from null?

What I'm saying (what I literally had in mind) is this. Isaac Newton was able to describe the behavior of gravity with a very simple equation. His law is still good, for all but the most extreme situations. And it took a load of intelligence for him to do his work. But this says nothing about the origin of gravity. Just because it takes a Newton to understand the law doesn't mean it took a Newton -- or anyone -- to create the law.
