   My last discussion thread ran to 600 posts

     This is an egregious waste of bandwidth.

            THE ANTHROPIC GOD OF RUSSIA
   The phrase "anthropic principle" was coined by the
theoretical astrophysicist Brandon Carter, in his
contribution to a 1973 Kraków symposium honoring
Copernicus's 500th birthday.
  The late and great Princeton physicist J.A. Wheeler was by
the way personally instrumental in persuading Carter to
announce the discovery.
   However, it appears that a prominent Russian cosmologist
the late Abraham Zelmanov was actually the first scientist
to actually discover the Anthropic Principle:

   In this 2006 description of his work by Dmitri Rabounski
we learn that Zelamnov discovered the Anthropic Principle in
the 1940's and recorded it in a manuscript only recently
published but many of his colleagues knew about the
discovery.
   At any rate, what is of interest here is that Hammond has
pointed out that an obvious consequence of the AP is the
fact that if Man did not exist, then the Universe would not
exist.  Hence the AP is actually the scientific foundation
of the phenomenology of "God" so called.
   While Hammond has been roundly criticized because Carter
never explicitly pointed this out; it turns out that
Zelamnov explicitly did; he says:

	"IF NO OBSERVERS EXIST THEN
	 THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE
	 AS WELL DOES NOT EXIST"
                       (A. Zelmanov
                        1940, loc cit)

   I would point out that Zelamanov was a very prominent
scientist at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute in Moscow,
and once introduced Stephen Hawking in one of his seminars
as a "promising young cosmologist" and Hawking read a brief
re****t at one of his seminars.

   So for the record:  It certainly is obvious to modern
Physics that

       Since the observer "creates" the Universe,
       and that observer is Man.  And since Man
       is only 200,000 years old, the (Biblical)
       Creation must have occurred 200k years ago!

   I therefore cite one of Russia's most prominent
physicists who was a colleague and peer of Stephen Hawking,
as CONFIRMING with that scientific opinion.
