Why is there something rather than nothing? A fundamental question
which goes to the very heart of creation and existence. Yet there
are only two realistic options: 'Intelligent Design', or 'Accident
of Chance' - a choice between 'God' and 'Science'. Religion,
however, lacks objective evidential support, and requires no
justification beyond unconditional belief, while science addresses
only material creation, but ignores essential 'intangibles' -
mathematics, logic and rationality - without which the universe
would not be able to function. These are the Enigmas of creation,
and this book addresses all aspects as equally important, including
theories of creation, the purpose and nature of the universe,
implications of time, concepts of reality and existence, life
(biological, artificial and destiny), laws of nature, metaphysical
concepts of 'pre-creation', the nature of 'higher intelligence',
and the validity and limitations of 'human' Probability. Proposals
put forward include, that 'the future' does not exist - only
indefinite perpetuation of increments of 'present'; laws of nature
being stored by digital encoding onto quantum fluctuations of
vacuum energy; and that quantum gravity does not exist. The book
collates and evaluates these topics, to compare and prioritize the
relative significance of 'real' and 'speculative' arguments, and
reaches a 'balance of evidence' conclusion as to why the universe
exists - Accident or Design?
