Synopsis:

Eight papers from the February 1997 Cosmology and Teleology conference in Seattle. Scientists, religious scholars, and a few contributors whose work spans both fields reflect on the question of cosmic purpose. A physicist, biologist, and astronomer join scholars of Islam, Hinduism, and Chinese and Japanese philosophy explore such topics as multiple universes, seemingly purposive features in life, and whether theology can affirm the presence of divine action without contradicting science.
