Anthropic Rollout

There's something odd about the argument that God set up the rules and the initial conditions and let the universe go. Some 13.7 billion years later, here we are, with a salvation plan.

On one hand, such a God seems rather magnificent. That's a staggering piece of twiddling. On the other hand, the degree of determinism involved is even more staggering. Just when did the free will kick in?

Then there's the problem of quantum randomness. Setting the initial conditions would seem insufficienct to guarantee outcomes.
