Heywood,
I'd be careful saying that many worlds and quantum can explain anything. If you're doing science, and suddenly something apparently very unlikely happens, you can't point to many worlds to explain it. The probability that you would observe such a thing is the same, many worlds or not, it's not evidence one way or the other, and it's not more likely. In connection with the anthropic principle on the other hand, you may have an explanation of sorts for certain things concerning our origin.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
