Research Abstract

1.The problem of anthropic principle originate from antiquity, especially anciant Greek philosophy. But now this problems direct source is physical cosmology where the very word "anthropic princile" is coined.
2. Anthropic principle is the opposite of "Copernican principle" or "Cosmological princile". "Weak anthropic princile" is just an application of mere scientific method and is equivalent to "selection princile". So in this case the word "anthropic" or "observation" may lead to a misunderstanding. From the philosophical poit of view, "strong anthropic priniple" is important. In some sense it is a teleological explanation but in other sense it is not.
3.Anthropic principle has logical connection with purpose of the universe, end of the universe, extraterrestrial life, origin and evolution of life, and principle of natural selection.
4.Observation selection effect and Doomsday argument deals with similar problems of anthropic principle.
5.Antropic principle implies ethical or religious meaning. The God or Creater which anthropic principle may introduce is not the personal God but impersonal designer which is the "philosopher's God" supposed by traditional natural theology. The existence of God is not proved by within natural science. That is the philosphical problem and is related to not only Christian God but problem of Soul or Buddhist s notion of Samsara.
