Inspired by discoveries in the biological and geological sciences, Davies reexamines the long-debated question of the origin of life. His observations have a large cosmological scope.
Explains our current knowledge about life's origins, focusing on recently discovered "superbugs" which may have arrived here on asteroids, and arguing that life grew from primitive information-processing systems.

"THE FIFTH MIRACLE--the culmination of a series of books in which Davies searches for the meaning of our existence--is one of his best works because it is enlivened by his struggle with the very incomplete state of the evidence. If you are going to read only one book on the origin of life, seriously consider this one....Davies gives the most evenhanded exposition I have seen of the strong and weak points of each of the theories."
