dc.descriptionThis is an electronic version of an article published in Zygon®: Journal of Religion and Science.
dc.description.abstractPaul Davies is a physicist, a cosmologist with philosophical interest. He is unsurpassed in summarizing the results of recent discoveries in physical astronomy and microphysics about the ways in which the characteristics of the universe are fine-tuned for life. "The universe is bio-friendly." He is much challenged by the differences between physics and biology, especially the emergence of mind. We are still left wondering why life elaborates and persists in the midst of its perpetual perishing.
