Letter: Letters: Hurray for us!

Published 20 June 1992

From DAVID LAWRENCE

Some may well accept that the advent and development of life is not
simply a matter of the application of statistics to basic chemical constituents;
some may go further and accept that life both ‘strives’ and is ‘impelled’
onwards towards some goal unspecified in the article. Nowhere does this
justify the assertion that life on Earth is unique. Maybe God is genuinely
cosmopolitan.
