Comment on Science is Magic
orbitz@lemmy.ca 2 years agoI do agree but if you wanted to make to case for ‘God’ they could have made sure some of their creatures evolved to understand his work, assuming they did it in a logical way. I’m not a person with faith but just try and think a way is possible, though usually trying to understand weird comic and media universe type actions.
We are the way for a universe to understand itself (paraphrased from Sagan). Though his writing is much more interesting than this comment. I just think there’s room for belief if it works for people, but not for the strict literal interpretations that many seem to believe.

That Sagan phrase inspired me to adapt a Descartes principle:
Because I am conscious, the universe is conscious.

A horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says “Say, you’re in here a lot, are you maybe an alcoholic?”
The horse says “I don’t think I am.” and immediately vanishes.
I would have said at the start that it was going to be a Descartes joke, but that would have been putting Descartes before de horse

I’m not sure I’ve heard that one, very similar and awesome. I should read some of him, yes I know very famous just something I haven’t got around to doing.

I’m glad you haven’t heard it because from my perspective, the universe thought I had come up with it myself, haha. But I haven’t read Descartes either, so I cannot say for certain.
