If you have religious friends of a scientific bent and you are on Facebook, then you’ve probably been subjected to the phenomenon that has freely labeled itself biocentrism. Biocentrists believe that the universe is created by consciousness and that almost every unknown in current science can be adjudicated by an appeal to the role living beings have in forging the cosmos with their minds. They couch these beliefs in quantum physics and, unlike more blatant New Age appropriations, the science is good enough to deserve a thorough looking over.
