His inclination lie in the direction of the bio-friendliness of the universe and that it operates at a much deeper level than the passive “winners in a random lottery” explanation. Davies takes life, mind and purpose seriously, and he concedes “that the university appears to be designed with a high level of ingenuity”.
The Goldilocks Enigma is a fascinating and challenging book to read. It is not an easy reading but I enjoying it a great deal. If you are interested in the big questions of existence this book is a must read.
