mindtraveller commented on the word eutaxiology
"The eutaxiological argument so popular with Newton and his disciples, on the other hand, is logically simpler than the teleological one and hides no linguistic subtleties; but to appreciate the existence of the mathematical beauty and harmony it exhibits and verify the examples cited in support of its claims requires considerable scientific knowledge. For this reason the logically simpler, but conceptually more difficult and more interesting, eutaxiological arguments appealed less to the popular mind. The eutaxiological argument is most similar to the Weak Anthropic Principle. Teleological Design Arguments are analogous to the Final Anthropic Principle, and the Strong Anthropic Principle has something in common with both forms of Design Argument." -Barrow and Tipler, The Anthropic Cosmological Principle
