		He has been a strong advocate of the anthropic principle in its most extreme form and a critic of SETI.

		Tipler himself suggests that he would judge the issue differently, if the appearence of such a person at a certain point in human history were necessary for the Omega point to result in the end.
		Tipler is justified in claiming that his statements on the properties of the Omega point correspond to Biblical assertions on God [my emphasis (FJT)].
		The Omega-Point-Theory in Frank Tipler's scientific cosmology starts from three presuppositions.

		Frank J. Tipler is a professor of mathematical physics at Tulane University, New Orleans, physicist, theologian and cornucopian philosopher.
		Tipler claims to have derived form general principles that this is bound to happen.
		However, the large majority of his colleagues in physics considers his logic to be flawed and hence does not take his theory seriously.

	Book review : Frank J. Tipler : The Physics of Immortality
		Frank J. Tipler is professor of Mathematical Physics at Tulane University.
		Tipler regards the human brain as an information processing device, and the soul as nothing but a program run on a computer called the brain.

		Tipler claims to have derived from general principles that this is bound to happen.
		In his controversial book The Physics of Immortality Tipler claims to prove the existence of life after death, provided by an artificial intelligence he calles the " Omega Point" and which he identifies with God.

	Book review of Frank Tipler
		Tipler points out that even cars and ideas are living beings, as they encode information and they can self-replicate, albeit with the help of another being (a factory or a mind).
		Tipler also disproves theorems of eternal return in physics: Einstein's universe (closed, finite and unlimited) implied eternal progress.
		Gravitational shear (collapse at different rates in different directions) is implied by the chaotic nature of Einstein's gravitational equations.

	Demystifying God
		Frank Tipler's Omega Point Theory (of which Theory first appeared in book-form in The Anthropic Cosmological Principle [1986] co-written by leading astrophysicist John D. Barrow along with Tipler, and of which said book received almost universally fawning praise by the science media) in the short Wired article:

		Tipler's ideas -- human beings are "machines," the soul is a "computer program," God is an Omega Point-- are the product of phantasmal cybernetic wizardry masquerading as science.
		The Decalog would not be necessary where it not for the existence of transgressors -- deceivers, thieves, killers, etc. Moses understood that without the Ten Commandments the Darwinistic fitness of transgressors would endanger the very survival of the Jewish people.

	Tipler's "Physics of Immortality"
		I just finished Frank Tipler's The Physics of Immortality, (1994: ISBN 0-385-46798-2) which I'd really looked forward to reading ever since I heard it was out, and my reaction is...
		In comoving proper time, they go zorp into the singularity and are crushed into nothingness--according to everything we know, the information is lost, and Tipler suggests nothing to the contrary.
		Well, it seems you now have a very large number of naked singularities (since no way is known to get rid of them, nor does Tipler suggest such) converging toward the Omega Point, which should make things even more interesting for the universal brain emerging there.

	Comments on Frank Tipler, The Omega Point and Christianity
		Frank J. Tipler, Het Punt Omega en het christendom, Gamma jrg.10, nr.2, 2003, pp.14-23.
		Tipler also claims that with his multiple universes idea he can solve the problem of evil (20-3): God has maximized the good...
		He forgets that another requirement would be the existence of atoms and molecules, but that at the exorbitantly high temperatures during the big crunch no matter will remain.

		Tipler also seems to desire to justify a 'heaven' of individual egos presided over by a personal 'God' entity, much like the fairy tales we heard as children.
		Tipler is making the classic error that Joseph Campbell lectured Bill Moyers over and over about: "Immortality (eternity) is not a long time.

	Critical Notice: Frank J Tipler (1995) "The Physics of Immortality"
		Moreover, these predictions are equally consonant with the failings of the other major planks of Tipler�s theory.
		Tipler allows that there could be quantum replicas of people (though the No Clone Theorem asserts that no machine can make such quantum replicas).
		Tipler claims that, since we are finite state machines, there are only finitely many possible people, and finitely many possible states which they can be in.

	Extraterrestrials
		Frank J. Tipler, "Extraterrestrial intelligent beings do not exist", Physics Today 34 (April 1981): 9, 70-71.
		Tipler's reply is that the self-reproducing probes would be useful for any kind of interstellar exploration, not just SETI, and hence would be developed even by a civilization that believed in its own uniqueness.
		Tipler argues that any civilization that wished to make contact with us would not use the radio beacons that Sagan and Drake are looking for, but would instead send out robot spacecraft, simply because that is a vastly more efficient method (see his responses to Physics Today reader letters in 1982 and 1988).

	Brainstorms: Frank J. Tipler: Refereed Journals: Do They Insure Quality or Enforce Orthodoxy?
		Tipler needs to do a better job of showing that, even without the travails of peer review, there would be something to an ID science.
		As Tipler and Gene have pointed out, Margulis faced strong philosophical objection to her theory.
		Tipler writes an excellent essay that helps us understand the meaning of �peer review.� True peer review does not begin until after a paper is published.

		If Tipler's magnum opus wasn't so long and jam-packed with incredibly detailed (although somewhat fantastic) interpretations of physical theory, you could swear he was just another physicist trying to cash in on the general public's vague understanding of science.(i.e.
		Tipler presents some of the most mind-blowing theories I have ever encountered, and what's more, he is very convincing in making us believe that his prophecies may come true.
		Something tells me though, that Dr. Tipler wouldn't spend so much time writing this huge book if he didn't half-way believe what he was preaching.
