Description
Wonders in Nature
The purpose of this book is to generate wonder in the minds of the readers regarding life in general and the wonderful way all living beings – plants, animals and humans – function as if there is built in computer within, to attain twin purpose, namely preservation of self and perpetuation of the species. The reason for making such an effort is on account of the settled attitude of the so called Post Modern Philosophers to exclude God completely from the universe. They advocate that Science itself can explain the origin and progress of the entire universe without any intervention of God. The origin of the universe is attributed to the “Big Bang”. But how the stuff that banged originated, still remains a mystery.
