Before the Beginning: Cosmology Explained

This book eloquently presents the scientific facts regarding our universe, presenting complex theories and facts in comprehensible language. After the 'science' is presented, George Ellis is not afraid to present his theory regarding the 'human' factor,' regarding consciousness and 'morals' in our society. He also makes one think beyond the science, which is in itself, limiting!

I came upon this book a year and a half ago; never have I seen such a logical presentation of the implications of cosmology, and the possible reasons for us existing, presented so well, and so eloquently. Dr. Ellis (G.F.R. Ellis) is a noted cosmologist who has cowritten with Hawking. And he delves into the possible implications of the "anthropic principle" as few scientsts have the courage or knowledge to do. A MUST read, especially if one wonders about the possibility of a purpose in Creation
