The singularity of the Big Bang caused the universe. As far as we know, we humans are the only intelligent species in the universe. The inanimate universe is the progenitor of life. Humans form an essential part of the universe because we are its consciousness. We humans are the cognitive part of the universe.

Why are we here? What's the point of existence? On the 'big questions' of meaning and purpose, Western thought has been dominated by the dichotomy of traditional religion and secular atheism. In this pioneering work, Philip Goff argues that it is time to move on from both God and atheism. Through an exploration of contemporary cosmology and cutting-edge philosophical research on consciousness, Goff argues for cosmic purpose: the idea that the universe is directed towards certain goals, such as the emergence of life. In contrast to religious thinkers, Goff argues that the traditional God is a bad explanation of cosmic purpose. Instead, he explores a range of alternative possibilities for accounting for cosmic purpose, from the speculation that we live in a computer simulation to the hypothesis that the universe itself is a conscious mind. Goff scrutinizes these options with analytical rigour, laying the foundations for a new paradigm of philosophical enquiry into the middle ground between God and atheism. Ultimately, Goff outlines a way of living in hope that cosmic purpose is still unfolding, involving political engagement and a non-literalist interpretation of traditional religion.

Every one of us can reach a deeper understanding of the purpose of our being here, in this universe. Our success will not depend so much on having faith in any particular being, as it will on having sincere thirst and desire to know, while keeping an open mind. That is how we can enjoy a serene state of awareness. This is just like wanting to listen to a particular radio station for music, to do so one needs to tune in to that stations' frequency and stay silent and just listen and relax/enjoy. Others can only teach us the alphabets, but it is up to each of us, individually, to compose and assemble the needed words to express our own inner knowledge to ourselves. We just have to literally decode the information that we are already carrying within us. To provide a meaningful and complete answer to such questions as what the purpose of life may be, the author has chosen to look at the whole picture, the whole universe. He begins with the formation of the physical and the spiritual worlds and the laws that govern them. Then, he explains how step by step spirits evolve, as they go through several evolutionary periods and fulfill their tasks. Finally, he explains what will eventually become of all spirits.

Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist. Yet these researchers--along with countless ordinary folks--resist belief in the biblical Creator. Why? They say a loving God would have made a better home for us, one without trouble and tragedy. In Why the Universe Is the Way It Is, Hugh Ross draws from his depth of study in both science and Scripture to explain how the universe's design fulfills several distinct purposes. He also reveals God's surpassing love and ultimate purposes for each individual. Why the Universe Is the Way It Is will interest anyone who wonders where and how the universe came to be, what or who is responsible for it, why we are here, or how and when the universe ends. Far from leaving the reader at this philosophical jumping-off point, Ross builds toward answering the big question of human destiny and the specific question of each reader's personal destiny.

Two familiar worldviews dominate Western philosophy: materialist atheism and the benevolent God of the Abrahamic faiths. Tim Mulgan defends a third way. Ananthropocentric purposivism claims that there is a cosmic purpose, but human beings are irrelevant to it. He argues that non-human-centred cosmic purpose can ground a distinctive human morality.

Science seeks to explain the laws of the physical universe by following a logical, repeatable method to verify and correct its observations and theories. Religion seeks to understand the spiritual relationship between man and God, the nature of the soul, and the destiny of consciousness after physical death. Scientists and religious leaders often conclude that scientific discoveries and theories conflict with spiritual concepts, such as the existence of God and the soul. Some Christian denominations expend and waste considerable spiritual energy concocting various formulations of "biblical science" from literal interpretations of the Bible to counter imagined dangers from secular science. This unnatural tension between the physical and spiritual worlds is artificial and manmade. The spiritual philosophy of the Edgar Cayce readings brings science and religious thought together as a unified whole. This book uses the philosophy of the Edgar Cayce readings to show that the physical and spiritual worlds are two aspects of creation that complement each other. The readings assert that the physical universe was intentionally created by God as a causal environment that allows souls to regain awareness of God through interpersonal activity. Science and religion are fully compatible and will eventually converge on the truth of the nature of the universe, the purpose of life, and the relationship between man and God. Science studies this physical facility constructed for soul rehabilitation without understanding its origins or purpose. This book may help scientists understand how their study and discovery of universal physical laws fit within the context of a higher spiritual purpose for the universe. Scripture, while important, can hamper our search for God when it is interpreted in a dogmatic, literal manner or used to declare others heretical because they have a different interpretation of certain passages or entertain ideas not deemed compatible with certain verses. This book may help church members who are disillusioned with sincere but misguided church authorities who insist that the Bible is a science textbook to understand that God can be found in both religion and science.

Why are we here? What's the point of existence? Most of us have wondered about these questions. For some, God represents an answer. For those who are unsatisfied by traditional religion, and also by the lack of an answer to these questions in atheism, Philip Goff offers a way between the two. Through an exploration of contemporary cosmology, as well as cutting-edge philosophical research on the nature of consciousness, he argues for cosmic purpose: the idea that the universe is directed towards certain goals, such as the emergence of intelligent life. In contrast to religious thinkers, Goff argues that the traditional God is a bad explanation of cosmic purpose. He explores a range of alternative possibilities for accounting for cosmic purpose: perhaps our universe was created by an evil or morally indifferent designer, or a designer with limited abilities. Perhaps we live in a computer simulation. Maybe cosmic purpose is rooted not in a conscious mind but in natural tendencies towards the good, or laws of nature with purposes built into them. Or maybe the universe is itself a conscious mind which directs itself towards certain goals. Goff scrutinises these options with analytic rigour, opening up a new avenue of philosophical enquiry into the middle ground between God and atheism. The final chapter outlines a way of living in hope that cosmic purpose is still unfolding, involving political engagement and a non-literalist interpretation of traditional religion.
