Week 3&4- Expert Lecture- Owen Gingerich on Astronomy and God

"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at allcomprehensible"-Einstein. That fact that we can hope to understand itis amazing and that we have the ability because there is somethingfundamentally there to comprehend it. What I was able to pull fromthis video from Owen Gingerich is that the universe and religion thereis unity. Without some of the gravitational constants we would not beable to live regardless of religion. What I find interseting is thathe talks about people in general, how that everyone to a certainextent believes in god and that is why some people opt out ofbelieving in a god. Sometimes people have a hard time believing thatthere is a god because we are going through so much sufferring. What Ifound interseting is thinking about what happened before the big bang.Scientist are now coming to think about eterinty, that when you thinkabout time you are going out of our time because you would need changeand motion, however you could define eterinty becuase it is embeded.Most preachers thing in terms of cause and effect. Basically what Owenis saying about the big bang theory or before it is that scientficallyyou are not able to to prove anything. Christains for a long time havebeen talking about other dimisions in the sense that another universewould be heaven. What I found weird is that Owen being a preacher heregrets his faith not being as broad as it was as a child. What Ipicked up from the video which is most defianlty true is that thehuman race is in jepoardy if we do not change something. We arerunning out of resources. The future of the human race is dyingbecuase with anything in life there is a time frame or a cycle. Thatthe human cycle is coming to an end.
