Nature’s Destiny examines the fitness(for carbon based life as we know it on this planet) of a wide variety of essential factors. These factors range from the carbon atom to the very challenging idea that man is uniquely adapted for the use of fire, argued by Denton as the essential ingredient for the development and advancement of technology. Denton examines a range of fundamental entities such as the carbon atom, the water molecule, light, gases etc that contribute either directly to the fabric of organisms (not only in terms of their structure, but also in terms of their required biochemistry) or the environment in which they live.
