Part 2: QUESTIONS & IDEAS

Part Two offers a wide range of questions and ideas about
existence, such as determinism and free will; synergy; a goal
directed universe; vitalism; chance; mysticism; string theory;
and cosmic fine tuning. A key point is raised about the individualism

wholes. There are listings of the major questions in the
world, as well as a discussion of evolution versus preformation
or foreordination.
