Book review: A meaningful world: how the arts and sciences reveal the genius of nature by Benjamin Wiker and Jonathan Witt | Frair, W. 2007.
CRSQ 43(4):276. CELD ID 20995Abstract The title tells it all. At a time when there is a popular emphasis upon meaninglessness and despair, this book arrives with its searchlight projecting rays illuminating antidotes to these widespread wanton assumptions. Indeed the universe is very meaningful, "...during the last several decades, evidence has been accumulated that the universe is finely tuned not only for our existence, but also to allow us to discover the genius of the universe, including the discovery that it is seemingly designed for discovery" (p. 148).
