About this ebook
The author is completely perplexed by the marvels in this world and beyond.
His reflections are summarized in four different chapters: on Nature, the Universe, Intelligence, and finally the ultimate question: Why are we here? Of course, answers to such questions are very personal and will be far from complete. Perhaps, more questions are asked than answers can ever be given. The material for his reflections was borrowed from the scientific literature, his own research and from books of wisdom, primarily from the different writings of the prophets and the apostles in ther Bible
