Who knows, as we learn more about the rules, IMHO, we will simply find that the finger of GOD wrote with a finer hand than we ever imagined. My bet is that as we learn more about Strings and Branes we will find that they are still but gross representations of what HE wrote.
And I don't know what means HE used to implement them. HE thought them is as good at the moment as anything else.
I see that the confusion
is mine in that I am relating the words such as "
finger of God,"
finer hand" and "
He thought them" as being meant to say that you view God as actually having a hand or a finger or a thought which are all themselves manifestations of a physical reality,a material existence.
I disagree simply because my
impression shows me that without invoking God as a Prime mover we arrive at a greater sense of completion in the world.
I find myself in agreement with Feynman on this when he said:
"It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil, which is the view that religion has.
The stage is too big for the drama."
And we now address this point.
My Impression of GOD is simply that. It is internal and no more instilled in me by outside force than any other idea, knowledge or belief. It is the result of observation and reason.
Again it is only,perhaps,that I am unable to share in the acceptance that the universe is,through observation and reason, evidence of a God without being able to explore the means by which a God would do these things.But that is just me. I think we are only differing in the sense that I do not have that internal impression.Anyway it is good jousting with you on this.Perhaps we might hear from others on their views of this.Have a good day.
You see a book lying on a table. You know there's a force due to gravity acting on that book. If you take that force (on the book and due to gravity) as the "action," what then is the "reaction" as required by Newton's third law?
