Just IMAGINE, if Albert Einstein sat in front of the altar. What did he think about God? God is depicted as Einstein? As atomkah balls? The Supreme Absolute or God is precisely the relative in the eye glass theory of relativity? Einstein reconcile with God reminds us of the eternal enmity between Science and Faith. Call it Fides and Ratio.
This is the result of the process of thinking how to describe the genius of Lord of knowledge perspective.
Long before Einstein, the religious stage rocked by Charles Darwin (1809-1882) with his theory of evolution. His book titled The Origin of Species became an icon refusal on the theory of creation. He rejected the God who created this earth. Darwin was in opposition with the creationists who believe in creation as told in Genesis literally. For Darwin, the entity on earth exists because the process of evolution. The concept of God has he kept in his drawer. Christian Faith Darwin increasingly ugly and he became an agnostic.
A century later munculah seeking a relationship between evolution and Christianity. He is Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955). Teilhard was a Jesuit priest at the same time scientists studying the species extinct. He believes that the creation is the process of evolution. For him, human history develops towards the summit which will be achieved in Christ. Christ is called the Omega point. God is not unchanging and transcendent (to overcome the world), but an active until now. God can not be separated from the process of evolution. Not all agree with Teilhard. His books were published after his death.
What about Einstein? The long-haired genius and this ragged trying to see God. The man born in Ulm was a child full of dreams that do not show a genuine genius. Opponents of Max Plank's Quantum Theory rejects the notion of God that is personal since his childhood. He rejected the way fundamentalist reading of Scripture.
Although impressed by the secular, Einstein could not contemplate losing in nature. He tried to position the human in the midst of a universe full of mystery. More so after his theory be misused for the manufacture of atomic bombs ravage the Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The destruction of two cities in the State of the Rising Sun is the destruction of humanity. In the midst, Einstein wrote "What is the meaning of human life or lives entirely organic? To answer this question presupposes religion ... Man looking at his own life and lives fellow creatures as meaningless is not only unfortunate, but almost does not qualify to live. "
Einstein admitted he was a deeply religious man. For him, the religious feeling is the existence pegetahuan something we can not break through. A common manifestation of the existence of the most profound and most brilliant beauty that is only achieved by cultivation in most elementary form.
Physics Einstein have implications for the understanding of God. In approaching the universe, our understanding of God must be cosmic as well as personal. That's Einstein. Then, how the image of each of us about God? Just a pause. Fillers free time ... [published in the News Sunday, July 23, 2006]
