I'm sure this book is familiar with some - it wasn't with me until I heard the author today on the radio - Stephen Dawking.
He was accepting questions on this book and his beliefs in general - he extols pure science and that live evolved from a "soup". In response to a question on how to respond to people who believed in God (he doesn't - full stop) he stated that the existence of life had nothing to do with GOd and was produced from this "soup".
He said however he had no response or answer if he was challenged on where the "laws of physics" came from, because any deviation in these laws, no matter how slight, would result in no life. Therefore the laws of physics had to be "just so" to allow life from the "soup".
Now that I've lost me on this:-), interested in any comments/observations on this??
