Abstract

Elements essential to life are made in the stars. Some explode; their matter condensed as planets, on one of which life evolves. What should we make of this? Dismiss the puzzle? It really isn't surprising that the universe has produced us. But those who want a fuller explanation will find it impressive to discover that what seem to be widely varied facts cannot vary widely if the universe is to generate matter, life, and mind. Might the start up big bang might also be a set up for creative genesis. Does the astrophysics and microphysics shape our metaphysics?
