Another worth reading is Paul Davies book 'The Goldilocks Enigma' or why is the Universe just right for life. I bought at the same time Richard Dawkins new book 'The God Delusion'.
It is difficult to understand that before Einstein and the foundations of Quantum Mechanics the Universe was thought of in terms of Newtonian Mechanics. Utterly predictable due to the clockwork interpretation. Hence the ideas of predermination and or fate.
Are we stuck in our own paradigm? Almost certainly!
