Lee Smolin delves into the anthropic principle in his book "Trouble with Physics"(a great book about the state of present day physics). He basically comes to the conclusion that the anthropic principle has less to do with science than it does with preserving the "ascendancy" of the string theory and supersymmetry, ie. string theorists are stretching to find something to hang their hats on.
