The uncertainty principle certainly applies at a fundamental level. But macroscopic events would still occur in a reasonably predictable way even in the absence of observers. We can't pin the absolute location *and* momentum of a particle concurrently, but we can work with averages.
@bluewilliam Consider radioactivity - we don't know when a specific atom will spontaneously decay, but we do know from observation that a ratio of a sample will have decayed in a specific time frame (50% in a "half-life" - and the ratio of decayed atoms approaches but never reaches 100%). It's disingenuous to say that the quantum principle applies to large-scale reality in the way hinted here - the Sun and planets must have formed in a particular way without conscious people to observe them!

Wolfgang Smith has the answer to the quantum enigma. Dualism has no answer.

Quantum physics clearly states that in the eyes of god everything in this universe is getting on and off at the speed of light
