Are we alone in the cosmos? This is the lofty question that best-selling author Paul Davies explores in this probing and provocative book. In The Fifth Miracle: The Search for the Origin and Meaning of Life, the internationally acclaimed physicist travels back three billion years to examine the earliest forms of life and new theories about how life actually began. Drawing on new evidence, Davies shows how rock-eating superbugs deep beneath the sea hold the key to our understanding of the origins of life, and suggests that the predecessors of these superbugs could even have travelled from other planets. | The Fifth Miracle by PAUL DAVIES, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
