we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just\n <\/div>\n
ordinary people, be able to take part in the<\/div>\n
discussion of the question of why it is that we\n <\/div>\n
and the universe exist. If we \ue0c4nd the answer<\/div>\n
to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of<\/div>\n
human reason\u2014for then we would know the<\/div>\n

\u201cI belong to the group of scientists who<\/div>\n
do not subscribe to a conventional religion<\/div>\n
but nevertheless deny that the universe is<\/div>\n
purposeless accident. Through my scienti\ue0c4c<\/div>\n
work I have come to believe more and mor<\/span>e\n <\/div>\n
strongly that the physical universe is put<\/div>\n
together with an ingenuity so astonishing<\/div>\n
that I cannot accept it merely as a brute fact.\n <\/div>\n
There must, it seems to me, be a deeper<\/div>\n
level of explanation\u2026.\u201d<\/div>\n
