This article deals with one specific line of evidence of design.

No, this articles deals with a basket full of scientific discoveries, then tries to imply that they exist the way they are because they are necessary to Man's existence. As if Man were the Prime Cause, and the rest of the Universe somehow derivative.

Not only does that contradict every logical principle, it also contradicts Creationism, which holds that God created the Universe first, then Man. He fitted Man to his environment, not vice versa.

. . .it also contradicts Creationism, which holds that God created the Universe first, then Man.

"Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live." -I Corinthians 8:6

Since the Creator eventually took upon Himself the form of a human in order to redeem the whole creation, it would seem reasonable that the anthropic principle would apply to creation in general. I've heard it said that, strictly in terms of physical size, the human form is midway between the smallest particle known and the largest expanse known. The imagination can always envision something smaller, or something larger ad infinitum.

"And if anyone thinks he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know."
