Quotes About Cosmological

the cosmological argument. The idea is that everything that begins to exist must have a cause.

To succumb to the God Temptation in either of those guises, biological or cosmological, is an act of intellectual capitulation.

I like Aristotle, but I don't agree with his cosmological argument about god.

THE COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT: A SIMPLE FORMATION Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God. The universe exists. Therefore, the explanation of the universe's existence is God.

my favorite is the cosmological argument. But cosmological and teleological arguments don't touch people where they live. The

THE COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT: A SIMPLE FORMATION Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God. The universe exists. Therefore, the explanation of the universe's existence is God. Logically speaking, this is

Leibniz's reasoning: 1. Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence. 2. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God. 3. The universe exists.

For my part, I prefer the ontological argument, the cosmological argument and the rest of the old stock-in-trade, to the sentimental illogicality that has sprung from Rousseau.

Salvation for Paul is an ontological and cosmological message (which is solid) before it ever becomes a moral or psychological one (which is always unstable).

A sacred myth keeps a people healthy, happy, and whole—even inside their pain. They give deep meaning, and pull us into "deep time" (which encompasses all time, past and future, geological and cosmological, and not just our little time or culture).

As a rationalist, pragmatist, and a scientist I rarely involve myself in the cosmological arguments of the creation of the universe.

We know that the expansion of our universe is accelerating, which means a number called the cosmological constant must be positive.

If the imprint is really due to gravitational waves from the big bang, then this is the type of cosmological discovery that comes along perhaps once every fifty years.

In its secular forms, then, this cosmological politics exceeds Christianity; to be an American, you must convert, not to Christianity, but to American democracy.

It is the cosmological vacuum energy that contributes a repulsive lambda force to the gravitational force of Newton.

We are not capable of producing a concept of time that is at once cosmological, biological, historical and individual

There are at least three different arrows of time. First, there is the thermodynamic arrow of time, the direction of time in which disorder or entropy increases. Then, there is the psychological arrow of time. This is the direction in which we feel time passes, the direction in which we remember the past but not the future. Finally, there is the cosmological arrow of time. This is the direction of time in which the universe is expanding rather than contracting.

So the energy per cubic centimeter is constant, while the number of cubic centimeters is increasing—the total energy goes up. In a universe dominated by radiation, in contrast, the total energy goes down, as each photon loses energy due to the cosmological redshift

In addition to the interpretive frameworks of the mythological (classical-Greek), the theological (Medieval-Christian), and the existential (modern-European), would it be possible to shift our framework to something we can only call cosmological? Could such a cosmological view be understood not simply as the view from inter-stellar space, but as the view of the world-without-us, the Planetary view?

For my part, I prefer the ontological argument, the cosmological argument and the rest of the old stock-in-trade, to the sentimental illogicality that has sprung from Rousseau.

cosmological constant to his theory, at the Lowell Observatory in

I speak in cosmological terms because it seems to me that is the only possible way to think if one is truly alive. I think this way also because it is just the opposite of the way I thought a few years back when I had what is called hopes. Hope is a bad thing. It means that you are not what you want to be. It means that part of you is dead, if not all of you. It means that you entertain illusions.

Myth does not want to be interpreted in cosmological terms but in anthropological terms or, better, in existentialist terms.

Fourth is Lambda, the cosmological constant, which determines the acceleration of the universe.
