God does not play dice with the universe

 

Fake Einstein was right. The difference between a universe with some sort of Providential dynamic and one that is completely contingent, accidental and indifferent is vast, and that’s why religious debates are such a weighty part of human history.

 

But the problem with this question as phrased is that it assumes there is only one answer, as if it’s not a matter of perspective.

 

First of all, there’s the difference between a cosmic perspective and a human perspective, a difference the real Einstein grasped fluently.

 

“I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists,” he said (in a verifiable quote), “not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.”

 

But even in terms of the fate and doings of mankind, it’s still a matter of perspective, because whether the universe can be seen as a friendly place or not has a lot to do with the distribution of luck.

 

“I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the harmony of all that exists,” he said (in a verifiable quote), “not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.”

 

The universe runs its course, us willing or not. Its course is dynamic and ever changing. As such, if we do not adapt to its terms and flow, we will be still assimilated by it, one way or another.

 

In other words. “Eventually Earth will just rid of us as a bad case of fleas…”
