Einstein is famous for his quote: “I am convinced that God does not play dice.” What did Einstein mean by “playing dice”? Do you agree with him?
I opened this discussion a few weeks ago with the hopes of getting most of the assignments we have left done and out of the way before finals week came around, but despite the amount of time I have had to think about this topic, I am still lost, but I’m gonna try to type it out.
I was raised without religion. I appreciate all of Einstein’s scientific contributions, but I can not agree with his views on the role religion plays in science. I can comprehend the sentiment that ‘God doesn’t play dice’: an idea that a higher power wouldn’t just willy nilly throw things on the table that were random, but I can’t seem to make that work for my own thoughts. My belief is that people use religion to explain things that are difficult for them to come to terms with, and sometimes it is difficult to come to terms with not knowing how things work in science because we have yet to prove it. The acquisition of knowledge is not done, therefore there are things that we can’t define, but I believe that given infinite time and resources, we could figure out how things work, how things came to be. It’s just a matter of patience and time, not religion and higher powers. (Though if our conquest for knowledge leads to a scientific proving of a supreme being, then so be it, until then, I only believe in things proven by the scientific method).
All in all, although Einstein was a brilliant scientist, I do not agree with his combination of higher powers and science.(This is written by me, the question is one of our discussions for an online physics class at PCC)
