| HAWKING & THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE Stepen Hawking mentions the Anthropic Principle 14 times in his book _ A Brief History of Time_. Since the book has sold 10 million copies in 45 languages we must conclude the Anthropic Principle is well known to Science. Hawking defines the Anthropic Principle on p 128-129: "We see the universe the way it is because we exist" and says: "Few people would quarrel with the validity or utility of the weak Anthropic Principle." On p. 128 Hawking says: "One example of the use of the anthropic principle is to "explain" why the Big Bang occurred about 10 billion years ago-- it takes about that long for intelligent beings to evolve." (he then calculates the time to produce stars, the elements, the solar system, and evolution of Man which totals to roughly 10 billion years) Half a dozen other major examples are well known and are cited in his book. WHAT IS INTERESTING TO ME is that Stephen Hawing is able to use the Anthropic Principle to determine the date of the Big Bang, but apparently FAILS TO REALIZE that the Anthropic Principle also "explains" the date of Biblical Creation. Unbeknownst to Stephen Hawking Religion long ago discovered the Anthropic Principle and identified it as the explanation of God (Berkeley 1710). "God" according to religion is in fact MIND. Hence when the mind of man came into existence, "reality" (sometimes called the world or the universe) also came into existence. Since we know that Homo sapiens are about 100,000 year old, the Anthropic Principle tells us that "reality" must be about 100,000 years old. Religion calculated this long ago and arrived at the famous figure of "6,000" years (Usher 1650) for the age of the universe. This was before modern science discovered Man is 100,000 years old not 6,000 which explains why they are a few years off. They are NOT 14 billion years off however! Religion simply points out that past history (including the Big Bang) is part of "human reality" hence the Anthropic Principle clearly explains why the Big Bang actually happened AFTER Biblical Creation even though Creation is only 100,000 years old! Fact is, the Anthropic Principle "explains" both God AND Creation. If Stepehn Hawking is so smart, why hasn't he realized that the Anthropic Principle explains the "Biblical" Creation as well as the "Big Bang" creation...? and why doesn't he realize that the Anthropic Principle is nothing other than the "Anthropomorphic God" of the Bible?
