While religion and philosophy have long pondered why we exist, science now offers new insights. Although traditional science viewed life as a random accident in an uncaring universe, complexity science—combining physics, biology, neuroscience, and information theory—suggests a different story. Research in evolution, emergence, and thermodynamics reveals that the universe may be self-organizing, naturally forming increasingly complex systems. In The Romance of Reality, Bobby Azarian explores this perspective, suggesting the cosmos trends toward greater complexity and awareness rather than randomness.
