physical laws are seemingly fine-tuned to allow life to exist.
Also from the article:
Stanford University visionary physicist Andrei Linde seemed adamant, however, that though this theory is not scientific, it must be true because it is logically necessary. When asked whether physicists will ever be able to prove the multiverse in the absence of any hope for physical confirmation, he told Discover, “Nothing else fits the data.”
What data? ...
The ‘data,... duh’ :)
