island,  I disagree with you about when anthropic arguments might be useful. In the first place, I don't see the second law of thermodynamics as a fundamental law that demands to be satisfied, but instead as a by-product of natural evolution of our universe from a simple initial condition. Moreover, I think we can be quite confident that carbon-based life forms contribute a completely negligible amount to the total entropy budget of the universe.
