Er jorden et helvete eller et paradis?

[Andysowhatgg]

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.”

― Albert Einstein

Man kan virkelig lure på hvorfor Albert Einstein sa det, og begrunnet har han også gjort. Tror dette kan være en fin tanke på hvorfor noen ser på verden som et godt sted. For mange så er det ikke tanken om at den er god som er viktig, men heller at vi kan gjøre den til noe godt kanskje, istedenfor å leve livene våres gjennom frykten.
 

 "I think the most important question facing humanity is, ‘Is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves.

"For if we decide that the universe is an unfriendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to achieve safety and power by creating bigger walls to keep out the unfriendliness and bigger weapons to destroy all that which is unfriendly and I believe that we are getting to a place where technology is powerful enough that we may either completely isolate or destroy ourselves as well in this process.

 

"If we decide that the universe is neither friendly nor unfriendly and that God is essentially ‘playing dice with the universe’, then we are simply victims to the random toss of the dice and our lives have no real purpose or meaning.

 

"But if we decide that the universe is a friendly place, then we will use our technology, our scientific discoveries and our natural resources to create tools and models for understanding that universe. Because power and safety will come through understanding its workings and its motives."

 

"God does not play dice with the universe,"
