James Gardner's biocosm theory proposes that the appearance
of life in the universe is no accident or chance event. Rather,
he views life as an expression of a great cosmic intelligence,
hardwired into a timeless, dynamic cycle of creation, evolution,
and renewal. The ultimate purpose of highly evolved life,
Gardner argues, is ultimately to infuse the entire universe with
intelligence, eventually creating a single, vast, cosmic life
form.
In this Voices talk, recorded in Boston, Gardner presents
Biocosm, his eloquent and lucid synthesis of the most recent
advances in cosmology and complexity theory. This cutting-edge
theory, which has won praise from leading scientists and
cosmologists around the world, challenges both Darwinists and
advocates of intelligent design, and challenges us to consider
that we may in fact be the primary shapers of the cosmos of the future.
