Abstract
Fr. Ernan McMullin wrote at least five essays in which reasoning in cosmology was a prominent topic of discussion and evaluation. Unlike the writings of many passionate advocates and hostile critics of the so-called anthropic principle (AP), they are all nuanced essays-very much in keeping with Fr. Ernan's usual approach to difficult and controversial subjects. Supporters of that approach will praise what he has to say as properly cautious and circumspect; others will likely find him often indecisive. In this essay, I will indicate why, while I largely agree with the first group of readers, I am nevertheless sympathetic to the concerns of the latter group.
