Matter as such has been demoted from its central role, to be replaced by concepts such as organization, complexity and information. - Paul Davies

[T]he demon... is transferring heat from a colder region to a warmer region in apparent defiance of the second law of thermodynamics. ...[A] refrigerator... costs energy to run... but the demon is operating using information instead... The demon... runs without any energy expenditure.

To a physicist like me, life looks to be little short of magic: all those dumb molecules conspiring to achieve such clever things!

That the universe has organized its own self-awareness – is for me powerful evidence that there is 'something going on' behind it all. The impression of design is overwhelming. Science may explain all the processes whereby the universe evolves its own destiny, but that still leaves room for there to be a meaning behind existence.
