The Grand Design - Stephen Hawking

[liftsiron]

wrong and you take it out of context.

he was warning that an advanced civilization even a "peaceful" one would end up as a conqueror.

white people came to America and at first tried to co exist with the native Americans, eventually though the more powerful peoples did what comes natural and took over.

again, it was a warning not declared fact.

and Einstein had no interest in religion. i can post for you about 50 quotes from Einstein mocking and dismissing religion.

That's based on human thinking that an alien race would even care to conquer us. When you walk by an ant hill, do you take the time to conquer the ants, what reason would you have???? I will concede that Einstein certainly didn't believe in traditional religion, or of a personal god. Burt he stated that he was a man of faith and religious he also said that science and religion can co.exist.


A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. (Albert Einstein)

I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. (Albert Einstein)

Point in fact I have walked by an ant hill in my life and kicked it over.

Again, he wasn't saying that's what would happen, he was simply serving a warning of what could happen.

I plan on buying a book for the first time.. I think ever! :clapback:

That's funny. I wasn't into reading books at all until a couple years ago. My wife had some stuff on Richard Dawkins in class and I read a little online and then bought one of his books. I couldn't tell you the last book I bought before that.
