"And obviously so. Especially your neglecting to back it up when asked. And hypocritical considering your argument with dsc.)"

"I didn't feel any need to respond, since another poster gave you a reference to "6 Not So Easy Pieces", without a doubt the best exposition that exists on origins symmetries, by one of the best scientists we ever sported."

Still avoiding, huh? I asked YOU for an article, not a second-hand reference to an out of print book. Pretty amazing considering that your unpopular theory was your ONLY defense of your non-Intelligently Designed universe. Quite telling, especially since I provided you with so much evidence to the contrary and in support of Intelligent Design of the universe.

Where?

If you mean the "fine-tuning" stuff, that hardly counts as evidence. What else do you have?

"6 not so easy pieces" is remarkably easy to come by. Amazon has 76 copies on hand as I write this. And it is a selection of lectures from the "Lectures on Physics", which will not be "out of print" until the crack of doom. However, since you are apparently allergic to that reference, here is one of hundreds google found for me--there is also a reasonable discussion of the "it's all in your head" explanation here.

Well, it wasn't, actually. The retroactive incredulity defense is probably still my goto argument.

And I have any number of other options I can call on whose evidentiary weight equals or exceeds that of the anthropic theory. Like the Mr. Mxlpixl theory: There actually is a negative 5th dimension from which Mr. Mxlpixl pops through occasionally to bedevil superman, balanced exactly in mass by the lost sox and coathangers and glasses from this universe that displace his mass, and thereby keep the two dimensions from annihilating each other back to the chaos from which they arose.

And then, of course, there's the Odin's battle with the giants at the Horefrost bridge explanation.

especially since I provided you with so much evidence to the contrary and in support of Intelligent Design of the universe.

You've done nothing of the sort. You have compiled the imaginative musings of a dozen or so scientists. All of whom know the difference between science, and creative self-indulgence, even if you don't.
