WHY ANYTHING - WHY NOT NOTHING: THE GOLDILOCKS PARAGON

by Captain Robert Cowley

Captain Robert Cowley walked a deserted Pacific beach; it was pre-dawn, dark, and chilly. Suddenly, he heard a voice: "Robert, look up." He looked up and observed the faint glow of Mars and billions of stars. The voice spoke again: "Why anything. Why not nothing." Cowley, an archetypal on-and-off believer, wrote Why Anything-Why Not Nothing for atheists, theists, scientists, evolutionists, and more. He asks: are humans the remnants of a natural big bang that coalesced into a universe, or might we be the creation of a supernatural God? Asking difficult questions and challenging the bounds of human reason, logic and intelligence, he reviews Biblical science against modern science and the limitations inherent in matter; he seeks to understand how and why we are here. Cowley searches for answers in the cosmos and in the supernatural philosophy of two monotheistic religions, Judaism and Christianity. He ponders with amazing intelligible lucidity: is evolution or God responsible for life.

[Robert Munnings · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting book which contains lots of information despite having flaws. Grammar and style is unconventional and material a bit repetitive. I enjoyed the sections on physics and numerology. My favourite parts were the personal stories such as the plane crash and the jet engine failure.
