.GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE
These are the famous words of Albert Einstein.
It meant that there was no gambling in the setting up of the cosmos and that
all the happenings followed a design and that there was no disorder.
Thus
all the happenings in the sky including the suns shine and the moons glow or the stars twinkle and more elaborately
the life on earth or the dead planets or the gay comets are a plan of the grand
design. It thus provides no flexibility and coming to us human beings- the way
we think or behave or act has nothing to do with our degree of intelligence or
stupidity.
This
also means that all the randomness you see and perceive are not random but
originate in a design. It further would mean that you do not have any control
over your destiny and that everything is predetermined. You have come to this
world with a preconceived fabric and there is no free will. Further you have
entered this set up and even God may not have much time to change anything in
the scheme of things.
The
greatest ever short story comes to my mind of a servant asking his landlord for
a horse so that he could gallop away to another city and escape the wrath of
‘The Lord of Death’ who had seen him in the bazaar that afternoon. Thereupon he
flees to the next city only to find the demon funnily asking him ‘I had seen
you couple of hours in the other city and I was wondering how you would be here
in time!’
The
existence of God has been debated by scientists a lot. Whose business it may
have been to trigger the beginning of this cosmos, probably the closest
argument is through a Big Bang, according to the theory of astrophysicists. Surprisingly
scientists even consider Albert Einstein to have believed in the existence of a
divine power as some of his statements point out.
