This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.

Being and time determine each other reciprocally, but in such a manner that neither can the former - Being - be addressed as something temporal nor can the latter - time - be addressed as a being.

You can't always get what you want.

A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.

Uhm, als ze gewoon gestopt waren met vechten en zich direct aan de duitsers hadden overgegeven was er toch ook vrede geweest ?
Alleen dat wilden ze vanuit ideologische redenen niet, dus gingen ze bombarderen.

Vrede dient in deze context niet opgevat te worden als een staat waarin er geen gewapend handelen door militaire machten meer is, maar een staat waarin de betrokken volkeren in vrijheid en zelfstandig kunnen leven. In die zin bombardeerden ze voor vrede.

Mijn keuze voor beste quote ooit is deze (icm een foto)

Ter verduidelijking, deze foto laat de aarde zien. Er bestaat geen enkele afbeelding van de aarde die verder weg is gemaakt dan deze, ver voorbij pluto.


Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

Het is licht dat door de aarde gereflecteerd wordt.

"ik geloof niet dat ze (= Albayraks ouders) ooit zullen begrijpen wie ik werkelijk ben. Nee, dat is helemaal niet triest, want ik begrijp wel wie zíj zijn en hoe het komt dat ze me nooit zullen begrijpen. Dat is voldoende.”

Such is God, your Lord. There is no god but him. He is the creator of all things; therefore serve him. He is the protector of all things. No mortal eyes can see him, though he sees all eyes. He is aware of all subtleties; he knows all.

Van pessimisme is weinig te bespeuren bij Russell. Russell geloofde heilig in de vooruitgang. Geloof zou uitsterven naarmate 'reason and science' oprukken. Hij was trouwens geen commie, meer een sociaal-democraat die niet onsympathiek tegenover het na-oorlogse links stond.

Een prachtig voorbeeld van de regelrechte geschiedverkrachting die antitheïsten graag uitvoeren. Er wordt totaal voorbij gegaan aan het feit dat een figuur als Copernicus tot de clerus behoorde en Isaac Newton diepgelovig was. Het gaat voorbij aan het feit dat als je in het Frankrijk van de late 17de eeuw bijna alleen met clerici op een onderhoudende manier over Newtoniaanse fysica kon praten. Het gaat al helemaal voorbij aan het feit dat het de typisch christelijke kijk op het goddelijke en stoffelijk juist mede aan de wortel ligt van het ontstaan van de moderne experimentele wetenschap.

Dat is geen 'geschiedverkrachting', wetenschappers zoals Newton of Copernicus zouden tot veel meer in staat zijn geweest als ze niet eerst door de geloofs-loopgraven hadden moeten ploeteren.
Of ze al dan niet gelovig waren valt nog te bezien.
Denk je ook niet dat het voor een wetenschapper indertijd veel verstandiger was om zich niet tegen het geloof te keren, Newton omarmde het geloof zelfs zo innig dat je je af kunt vragen waarom hij dat deed?

(Ik zou nu af kunnen sluiten met een denigrerende opmerking over gelovigen, maar ik heb geen zin om af te dalen naar een lager niveau)

Newton heeft meer van zijn tijd besteed aan theologie dan aan natuurkunde. Moest hij door de 'geloofs-loopgraven' ploeteren? Zijn grootste obstakel was het Aristoteliaanse paradigma dat heerste.

Ik denk inderdaad niet dat Newton voor z'n wetenschappelijke wereld zo geteisterd is door de georganiseerde religie. Eerder in z'n religieuze beleving. Hij was meer een magier en alchemist dan een orthodoxe Christen, dat is hetgene wat hij goed verborgen heeft moeten houden. Voor Copernicus valt op zich nog wat te zeggen, aangezien z'n angst om z'n theorie te publiceren misschien ten dele kwam door het geloof, en de latere weerstand tegen z'n boek (toen was hij allang dood, maar misschien dat andere wetenschappers daar last van kregen). Dat gezegd zijn er natuurlijk wel wat betere voorbeelden dan Newton en Copernicus.

Hoewel ik zelf die quote ook eigenlijk heel fout vind kan ik eigenlijk alleen maar concluderen dat jij zo ver doorschiet in jouw verachting voor alle kritiek op het christendom dat je niet helemaal neutraal meer kan zijn. In de tijden waar je het over hebt was iedereen "christelijk". Om de shared effort van een op skepticisme gebasseerde wetenschap toe te schrijven aan de mentaliteit van een overduidelijk non-skeptisch christendom komt nogal kortzichtig over.
Men was in die tijd christen by default. Als je dat eens meeneemt in je redenatie kom je ineens tot hele andere conclusies.

quote:

Atheïstenmensen, meestal dom volk.

Het christendom heeft een wezenlijke bijdrage geleverd waarzonder moderne wetenschap niet heeft kunnen ontstaan. Die bijdrage is de visie op de natuur als iets louter stoffelijks dat niet goddelijk bezield is. Dit stond natuurvorsers toe om empirisch onderzoek uit te oefenen, om de natuur op de pijnbank te leggen en haar geheimen te ontfutselen.

het enige wat te roepen valt is dat het christendom een religie van compromis is geweest. Eerst hard tegenstribbelen terwijl wetenschappers het goddelijke reduceren tot een onwaarneembaar concept en als je uiteindelijk geen andere keuze meer hebt de geschiedenis herschrijven op een manier dat doet lijken alsof die allemaal door het christendom geinspireert is. En dan maar hopen dat de domme massa dit na gaat praten. Dat is iig goed bij jou gelukt.

Hetzelfde geldt, misschien nog wel meer, voor de Islam, maar ik vind dat eerlijk gezegd een beetje onzin. Men was in Griekenland een stuk verder qua moderne wetenschap dan ze in de middeleeuwen heul lang hebben gedaan.

Dat is alles wat ik kan zeggen. Op zulke Christopher Hitchens-achtige onzin ga ik natuurlijk niet in.

Het valt niet te ontkennen dat binnen de Islam veel bijdragen zijn geleverd aan de natuurkennis en filosofie. Of dat mede door de Islam komt, is een andere vraag.
