First of all, he gives the metaphor of the clock on the street. This metaphor is based on the fact that if you see a clock in the middle of the street, you know that someone made it, you don't think that it just appeared in the street, you are certain that somebody must have made it. The same happens with the universe, it's foolish to believe that it is just there, somebody or something must be responsible for it, be it God, a big explosion or whatever other theorys there may be.
In my particular point of view, I think that once you see the immensity of the world, the perfection of the universe and the greatness of its components, it sounds almost arrogant to believe that it all resulted from an explotion, specially because nobody has been able to say what caused it.
I say arrogant because to me, the universe is amazing, this planet is amazing, the human body and its anatomy is amazing, and to deny that only a superior being could be responsible for all these things sounds arrogant to me.
I mean, if you think about it, our body functions in an amazing way. The way it defends itself against viruses, the way it recovers from illnesses, its just amazing. The nature and its diversity is amazing too, all the ecosistems, the animals and their cycle of life, it's all jus awesome. And the universe, the enormous universe and the way every part of it is arranged, it's almost incredible.
So, in conclusion, for me, from my point of view, it sounds way more reasonable to believe that a supreme and superior being is responsible for the universe and its greatness, rather than to belive that an explotion came out of nowhere and created every single thing that the universe is made of.
I think that Rene is correct in most of his points but I also disagree with lots of things in his blog. He says that our bodies function well and that nothing could make it this perfect but despite I think that in order to get the body of humans we have passed for a gigantic process that took us billions of years which is evolution. The ability of evolving is such a great advantasge that make us understand how we became what we are today.
ResponderEliminarWOW RENE! this is an excellent blog, maybe the best one. Congratulations. I agree with you that the world was made from an explotion, I really don't believe that such a perfect explotion could create what we are living today. I think that someone supirior is the one responsable of this. Also what you talk about evolution is right, humans have been evolving with the time and that's what makes us think and argue how was the world created and are we part of it or not.
