Big Bang dogmatism - from physics to metaphysics
There are numerous great scientists -like Albert Einstein - who have not confused science with GOD. In MY universe there is room for both FAITH and SCIENCE.
Don't exhaust your spiritual instincts exploring those arid " quantum fields " .
Oddly enough , another great physicist , Fred Hoyle who ironically NAMED the Big Bang , perhaps an atheist himself , was skeptical about these Big Bang theories. To Hoyle physics here was beginning to sound like theological metaphysics: abstract mathematics does not necessarily lead to SCIENTIFIC, verifiable truth . Also did advanced mathematics exist before the Big Bang, before Creation ? If so , then where else except in the Mind of God ?
[ " The cosmologist Sir Fred Hoyle simply felt that an explosion was an undignified way for the world to begin, rather like 'a party girl jumping out of a cake ' .In a BBC interview in the 1950s, Hoyle sardonically referred to the hypothesized origin as “the big bang.” The term stuck. " ]
Whatever , the last time I checked the much maligned Catholic Church - also the Rock of Western Civilization - has no quarrel with the sound -and useful - knowledge of modern science , with Darwin's evolution or the Big Bang ( first theorized by a Belgian priest, Georges Le Maitre ) .
It would be suicidal for ANY socialist movement to try to convince religious humanity that the ultimate reality is QUANTUM FOAM . At least locate Botticelli's Venus , by another name , The Holy Mother , somewhere in there.
Any future " socialist " government that arrogantly claims its state " officially atheist " can only be an ally of the Prince of Darkness.
Comments that are courteous, concise and relevant are always welcome, whether or not they agree with the views expressed here or not. Profanity is not necessary. Thank you for reading “Time Enough At Last!”
