    Hello folks,

    first I want to thank Glenn for posting his notes to the
    ASA list. I'm very glad I can be updated on what happened
    in Waco.

    In one of the e-mails Glenn writes this :

    >Weinberg stated that the anthropic principle is in enormous retreat now and
    >that the beginning of life, and consciousness will be explained, although he
    >did allow for the possibility that consciousness may simply be too hard for
    >us.

    Is it true that the anthropic principle is in retreat among scientists now ?
    Anyone that can confirm that this is so ?

    Regards from Inge
