You are very generous in attributing theism to people of differing worldviews.

I'm curious...
I know Stephen Hawking is not a climatologist (duh), but doesn anyone know if he's ever weighed in on global warming?

Yes, just last month. At a conference in China, he said he was "very worried about global warming."
"Stephen Hawking warns about global warming"

Thanks! I see he's swallowed the kool-aid, too, but in even a worse way than normal. Too bad.

Sounds like Hawking is taking a page from Robert Laughlin's book.

"anthropic principle" hmmmm.. So the universe is uniquely oriented to allow life. (In addition to he cosmological constant, there are over ten constant numbers, for which a small change in any of them, would preclude life). Anthropomorphism is the poet's license to apply human qualities to a moon, a stream, an animal or tree. Seems to be a humanistic, secular bias here, I guess Hawking wants to be published as much as anybody else. If had called it the "genesis principle," even Mr. Hawking would be ostracized.I'm willing to "ostracize" any scientist who invokes the "anthropic principle," and your implication that Hawkins has surrendered his "science" to the PC Gods is appropriate.
To invoke this "anthropic principle" is to argue (without any data) that the universe is purposeful.
Regards...R.

It is only "must have" in the sense that, if conditions in the universe didn't fall out as liveable, nothing would be alive therein.The essence of evolution is that living organisms are continuously and highly variable (as opposed to rocks), thus I would suspect that life was more apt to adapt to the conditions of the universe rather than vice verse.
