Where did the laws of nature come from? Were they created by a higher force, or can they be explained in some other way? How, for example, could a mechanism as complex as an eye have evolved without a creator?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Paul Davies argues that the achievement of science and mathematics in unlocking the secrets of nature mean that there must be a deep and significant link between the human mind and the organization of the physical world. In this quest for an ultimate explanation of the universe, he examines the origin of the cosmos, the possibility of other universes and the claim that we inhabit a kind of gigantic computer. The universe is, he concludes, no mere quirk of fate but a meaningful place for thinking beings. Through science, we can truly glimpse the mind of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  'Makes us re-examine the great questions of existence'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  'The greatest achievement of the book is to provide an insight into the nature of science itself and the uncertainties that lie in the physical realm'\u003cbr\u003e  John Gribbin, \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'For those brought up on a diet of Adam and Eve, \u003ci\u003eThe Mind of God\u003c\/i\u003e will make surprising reading'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eIndependent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePaul Davies\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the BEYOND Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, and co-Director of the Cosmology Initiative, both at Arizona State University.
