Which of these is not the author's view?

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:
A psychic spiritual life reading is an in–depth evaluation of one's soul, both past and present and is intended for those individuals who want a deeper insight about their soul's evolutionary journey throughout their various incarnations and how that journey is affecting their present life. These readings speak directly to the heart of the individual giving insight and solutions to present day problems by reuniting the consciousnesswith its truespiritual heritage. The focus of the work is on helping others in their pursuit of soul growth and spiritual understanding. All areas of a person's life are covered with emphasis placed on the underlying spiritual energy that governs each issue. Questions are encouraged by the individual and pathways are suggested that serve as a catalyst towards balanced empowerment in one's life.

For centuries life has proved to be a veritable enigma of humanity at the globe. Saints and Sages, not to speak of the myriads of ordinary mortals, men and women, have wondered what the real purpose of life is, what God really wanted human beings to do, how life began and what the solutions to the various mysteries of terrestrial existence are. It has been said that the greatest mystery in the universe is we ourselves. Scientists as well as non– scientists have also posed the questions: What is life? How did it begin? Is there life after death?

Time was when people contented themselves by merely saying that God is responsible for what we are and what we shall become. But now such simple, and in part evasive, answers are not accepted. The spread of education and all–round enlightenment and inquisitiveness prompt people to go deeper into the matter. Hans Christian Anderson, the famous author of fairy tales, wrote: "Every man's life is a fairy tale, written by God's fingers."

The Almighty's fingers, assuming He had a human form, did perform miracles, and human life itself is a miracle on earth. The view is extended to signify that miracles are beyond human comprehension; this being so, it is contended that speculation and the theorizing about what life was meant to be and what it would be in years to come are futile exercises.

But one kind of exercise is the scientific, or rather the chemical. In hundreds of laboratories in many continents, especially the American, scientists have been probing the mysteries of life. But the results they have so far obtained, after prolonged research, in effect create as many mysteries as the ones they seek to solve. Science thus has no better solution to offer than the one dictated by the laboratory examinations and analyses.

According to a mechanistic view of the universe, and thus of origins, the whole of reality is evolution — a single process of self–transformation. Everything in the universe, according to this view, has evolved from a chaotic or random state of matter. This evolutionary continuum thus requires that life arose on this planet (or on some planet, at least) from inanimate matter via chemical and physical processes still operating today. It is generally believed that these processes acted for many tens of millions of years, most likely hundreds of millions of years, before true cellular life was brought into being.

Chemically, life can be seen as the linking of certain types of organic molecules, known as amino acids, to form more complex substances. But the point at which a mere collection of lifeless chemicals (which can be had by the tonne from the market) becomes a living creature is still not precisely known. Some scientists believe that life emerges when the chemicals are able to "eat" other molecules and grow as a result.

Many laboratories, supported by government and university funds, are devoted to pursuing origin of life theories. Laboratory exercises and the speculations that have inspired them have resulted in a large number of publications and national and international symposia.
