Frank J. Tipler - Can We Explain Cosmos and Consciousness?

The existence of both cosmos and consciousness, each in its own way, constitute deep problems, perhaps grand mysteries beyond human knowing.

Some base their claim on religion, a few on science, others on the belief that consciousness is ultimate reality.
