Throughout history, humans have dreamed of knowing the reason for the existence of the universe. Many scientists now believe that, given the laws of nature, a universe can come into being spontaneously, without the need of a creator. Yet where do these laws of nature come from Have they been created by God, or can they be explained in some other way In a bold and controversial analysis, acclaimed physicist Paul Davies argues that these laws must have a remarkably special form. He claims that the success of mathematics in describing nature points to a deep and significant link between the human mind and the organization of the physical world. In his quest for an ultimate explanation of existence, Davies examines the origin and evolution of the cosmos, the possibility of other universes and the claim that ours is a kind of gigantic computer. His startling conclusion is that the universe is no accident, but is structured in a way that provides a meaningful place for thinking beings. By means of science, we can truly glimpse the mind of God.
