Talk:Cosmos is fine-tuned to permit scientific discovery

Plant kingdom

I removed and replaced the first response because I couldn't quite parse what the author was getting at, so I (hopefully temporarily) removed and replaced it with another. Could someone rewrite it, or explain it better?--Mr A. 15:07, 16 September 2007 (BST)

An obvious counter example to this is the entire plant kingdom. The success of plants depends minimally if at all on the ability to internalise models of even their immediate environment. Therefore ease of scientific discovery is not what makes a universe life-friendly. Also it is not what makes it intelligent life-friendly. For example, the grist to the mill of the human brain is mostly provided by the other human beings in its environment, with all their politicking.

I can't see the point either.

Mayans and Celts

"The makers of this claim fail to realize that human civilizations, such as the Mayans and the British Celts, have known about and predicted total and partial solar and lunar eclipses for thousands of years."

Sorry, but I fail to see the connection between this and the claim. --tk
