This oddly enough is an argument made by a person who claims not to be a creationist.
He is actually a dentist who refers to himself as 'Dr...' and uses his basic degree qualification to disagree with sciences and specialisations outside of his realm.
He does believe evolution to be impossible and has made many videos trying to push ID, he is now trying his hand with quantum physics and is manipulating the ideas of the measurement problem and uncertainty, as a justification that the universe needs a 'conscious observer' i.e an intelligence observing it, in order to exist.
Hes not very clear from his latest videos, because he titled them 'age of the universe paradox' despite not making any claims about the age of anything.
What he does drive forward is an idea based loosely on simplifications of quantum mechanics, whereby the universe can only exist if something is looking at it, because the measurement problem 'proves' that the quantum world is uncertain about its own existence until measured.
Therefore the universe cannot exist until looked at by intelligence observers.
I am not a physicist, but i have laid down why i feel he is wrong and tried to explain that ALL interactions between the relative and quantum worlds cause wave functions to collapse and definate, reliable positions to be found. Hence the universe exists without intelligence or with it, as long as these interactions occur.
Our presence has nothing to do with reality being able to exist.

Any experts about who can shed more light on this matter?
