The mind of god : science and the search for ultimate meaning

by Paul Davies

This work examines the origins of the universe and the laws of nature, exploring whether existence is random or purposeful. It analyses the relationship between the human mind and the physical world, suggesting that science reveals a meaningful organisation to the cosmos.
