About this book
Are We an Accident...or Not?The question of cosmic origins and our place in the grand scheme of things has been debated for millennia. Why do we exist? Why does anything exist at all?Today's popular narrative, based on advancements in science, is that it all happened by natural, random processes. Melissa Cain Travis points to powerful evidence that the opposite is truethat cosmology, astronomy, biochemistry, and other disciplines strongly support what she calls "e;The Maker Thesis, "e; which explains the origin, rationality, and intricacy of nature and the human mind's capacity to comprehend it.Our universe is made up of numerous complex systems of order that both interact and coexist with each other as if in a carefully choreographed dance. Follow along on a fascinating journey about how the structure of nature and the mind of man resonate in ways that point to a Maker who fully intended the astounding discoveries being made in the natural sciences today.
