I think you are mixing Tipler's Omega Point, Kurtzweil's technological singularity (a.k.a the rapture of the nerds), and possibly one or two other strands of posthumanist thought, with the strong anthropic principal, which merely makes statements about the required structure of any observed universe.

Tipler's Omega point conveniently overlooks the fact that while the universe may eventually be entirely given over to performing some form of informational processing (and may in fact, already be doing that), that doesn't mean it sent its only begotten son to be our savior.
