  The problem of making predictions from theories that have landscapes of
possible low energy parameters is reviewed. Conditions for such a theory to
yield falsifiable predictions for doable experiments are given. It is shown
that the hypothesis of cosmological natural selection satisfies these
conditions, thus showing that it is possible to continue to do physics on a
landscape without invoking the anthropic principle. In particular, this is true
whether or not the ensemble of universes generated by black holes bouncing is a
sub-ensemble of a larger ensemble that might be generated by a random process
such as eternal inflation.
  A recent criticism of cosmological natural selection made by Vilenkin in
hep-th/0610051 is discussed. It is shown to rely on assumptions about both the
infrared and ultraviolet behavior of quantum gravity that are very unlikely to
be true.
