Yes, I think he's going to have to eat his reductionist hat one of these days. Or not...I think he's 65 and that's pretty old to still have your heels dug in.
But eventually, I think, the staggering amount of complexity in the cosmos is going to force biology to adopt some sort of strong anthropic principle.

Stuart Kauffman and others are doing work on self-organizing systems that some find encouraging.
