[MD] Through a glass darkly

[118]

Thanks Adrie,
Interesting review
Several comments:
Life is fine-tuned for the universe, not the other way around.

Technically we are at the "center" of the universe.

Yes, we can be seen as dark glasses, I prefer that we are one of the
many eyes of God, as Ham and I have been writing.

Cheers,
Mark
