Abstract
Generating life on Earth requires creating information, the serendipitous opening up of novel possibility space, driving escalating biodiversity and biocomplexity. Biologists puzzle whether such natural history is contingent, random, probable or inevitable. Humans, uniquely on Earth, achieve highly developed cultures, with great promise and peril. We live on a wonderland Earth and are the apex of these wonders. This opens up possibility space for faith in God.
