Summary: In this interview, we discuss Goff's book about whether there's a purpose of the universe. Goff believes there's some middle ground between traditional theists and atheists in addressing this fundamental question. He explores three options: (1) a God of limited powers; (2) teleological laws of nature; and (3) panpsychism. He believes any of these three can explain why the universe is fine-tuned for life.
