520    "There is a widespread assumption that the universe in 
       general, and life in particular, is "getting more complex 
       with time". This book brings together a wide range of 
       experts in science, philosophy, and theology and unveils 
       their joint effort in exploring this idea. They confront 
       essential problems behind the theory of complexity and the
       role of life within it: What is complexity? When does it 
       increase, and why? Is the universe evolving towards states
       of ever greater complexity and diversity? If so, what is 
       the source of this universal enrichment? This book 
       addresses those difficult questions, and offers a unique 
       cross-disciplinary perspective on some of the most 
       profound issues at the heart of science and philosophy. 
       Readers will gain insights in complexity that reach deep 
       into key areas of physics, biology, complexity science, 
       philosophy and religion"--|cProvided by publisher.
