Anthropological Constants are the values that must be, for life to exist on Earth. Thus, the exact value of Gravity, the exact ratio of molecular fusion, the percentage of hydrogen being fused with oxygen, temperature, humidity, etc. would all be examples of anthropologal constants, which are some of the best evidence pointing towards Intelligent Design. This is because a very minor change of even 0.007% in some of these values would have a catastrophic result on life on Earth. Thus, the Anthropological Constants, nicknamed the Fine-tuning of Earth, are core components that arrange for precisely the right conditions for Life, and are thus extreemly unlikely to be produced by chance.

Specifically, Oxford Physicist Roger Penrose said that one parameter, the "original phase-space volume," required fine-tuning to an accuracy of one part in ten billion multiplied by itself one hundred and twenty three times. He remarked that it would be impossible to even write down that number in full, since it would require more zeros than the number of elementary particles in the entire universe! This showed, he said, "the precision needed to set the universe on its course."
