$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / The more a man is imbued with the \ | ordered regularity of all events, the | | firmer becomes his conviction that | | there is no room left by the side of | | this ordered regularity for causes of a | | different nature. For him neither the | | rule of human nor the rule of divine | | will exists as an independent cause of | | natural events. To be sure, the | | doctrine of a personal God interfering | | with natural events could never be | | refuted, in the real sense, by science, | | for this doctrine can always take | | refuge in those domains in which | | scientific knowledge has not yet been | | able to set foot. | | | | But I am persuaded that such behavior | | on the part of the representatives of | | religion would not only be unworthy but | | also fatal. For a doctrine which is | | able to maintain itself not in clear | | light, but only in the dark, will of | | necessity lose its effect on mankind, | | with incalculable harm to human | | progress. In their struggle for the | | ethical good, teachers of religion must | | have the stature to give up the | | doctrine of a personal God, that is, | | give up that source of fear and hope | | which in the past placed such vast | | powers in the hands of priests. In | | their labors they will have to avail | | themselves of those forces which are | | capable of cultivating the Good, the | | True, and the Beautiful in humanity | | itself. This is, to be sure, a more | | difficult but an incomparably more | | worthy task. | | | \ -- Albert Einstein / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
