#258 The Ghosts of Galileo and Goldilocks

EXCERPT: Popular physics writer Paul Davies has recently published a book entitled The Goldilocks Enigma: Why Is the Universe Just Right for Life? In that book, he argues there must be some explanation why the universe appears to be not too hot, not too cold, but "just right" for the development of life, and spends much of the book looking for alternatives to invoking God as our intelligence designer.

It seems to me that, even if scientists achieve a scientific answer to this question, that discovery will unlock more questions, until finally both science and faith share the same question: "Why is there something instead of nothing?"—and no one expects any telescope to answer that.
