Meaningful or meaningless? Purposeful or pointless? When we look at
nature, whether at our living earth or into deepest space, what do
we find? In stark contrast to contemporary claims that the world is
meaningless, Benjamin Wiker and Jonathan Witt reveal a cosmos
charged with both meaning and purpose. Their journey begins with
Shakespeare and ranges through Euclid's geometry, the fine-tuning
of the laws of physics, the periodic table of the elements, the
artistry of ordinary substances like carbon and water, the
intricacy of biological organisms, and the irreducible drama of
scientific exploration itself. Along the way, Wiker and Witt
fashion a robust argument from evidence in nature, one that rests
neither on religious presuppositions nor on a simplistic view of
nature as the best of all possible worlds. In their exploration of
the cosmos, Wiker and Witt find all the challenges and surprises,
all of the mystery and elegance one expects from a work of genius.
