From the earliest glimmers of human consciousness, from the caves of Lascaux to the quantum physics laboratories of CERN, a single question has haunted the human mind: why is there something rather than nothing? And in this something, what is my place, what is my role, and where should I direct my life?This book is not a theology textbook. Nor is it an indictment of religion, or a plea for atheism. It is, above all, an invitation to face up to the extraordinary diversity of responses that humanity has forged to the enigma of its existence.
