Concentrating on the Centre for the Study of Complex Systems in Los Alamos, California and the religious beliefs of surrounding communities, this book explores the new science of complexity, which suggests the existence of a strong impulse towards order in nature, drawing parallels with the varied religious groups in the area and the source of the religious impulse in a need to deny chance and blind fate. It is a thought-provoking look at the ever-appealing subject of the claims of science and religion in shaping man's view of the world outside him.
