This is a very good survey of new cosmological thinking.
I have been very suspicious of the anthropic principle for a long time; I have mostly rejected it. The finely-tuned universe has been equally suspect, to me. Now I have hope that these ideas are unnecessary. Any number of other universes probably are most probably not properly tuned to support life as we know it. I also find that the "final goal" of science to be possibly illusory to be quite amusing and satisfying.
