In this thought-provoking book, \u003cem\u003eThe New Cosmic Story\u003c\/em\u003e, John F. Haught considers the deeper implications of this discovery. He contends that many others who have written books on life and the universe—including Stephen Hawking, Stephen Jay Gould, and Richard Dawkins—have overlooked a crucial aspect of cosmic history: the drama of life’s awakening to interiority and religious awareness. Science may illuminate the \u003cem\u003eoutside\u003c\/em\u003e story of the universe, but a full telling of the cosmic story cannot ignore the \u003cem\u003einside\u003c\/em\u003e development that interiority represents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaught addresses two primary questions: what does the arrival of religion tell us about the universe, and what does our understanding of the cosmos as an unfinished drama tell us about religion?
