What's wrong with "just because"?

[branchandroot]

The weak anthropic principle I can buy. "Physical laws are the way they are because that's how it fell out by chance, and isn't it nice that chance included intelligent organisms".

The strong anthropic principle, on the other hand, just makes me twitch. If scientists want to have religion and faith that's all well and good and quite their personal choice, but things like the strong anthropic principle say to me that they're letting it interfere with their science.

And that is, quite frankly, against my beliefs.
