The fifth miracle

In 'The Fifth Miracle,' Paul Davies explores the origin of life and the conditions that made it possible.

Davies examines the prevailing scientific theories about how life arose from non-living matter.

He discusses the role of chance and necessity in the emergence of complex biological systems.

The book also delves into the philosophical implications of whether life is a unique phenomenon or a predictable outcome of the laws of the universe.

Davies investigates the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the cosmos.
