God And The Astronomers

the facts suggests that a
superintellect has monkeyed with
physics, as well as with chemistry
and biology, and that there are no
blind forces worth speaking about
in nature. The numbers one

me so overwhelming as to put this
conclusion almost beyond
question

Fred Hoyle, astronomer and


cosmologist
