David Berlinksi um Miklahvell og Darwin

Hérna er virkilega skemmtilegt viðtal við David Berlinski

Hérna eru nokkur brot úr viðtalinu.

Varðandi kenningu Darwins:

That's not a theory. That's just a string of wet sponges on a clothesline. That doesn't tell us anything deep about biological structure.
It is simply an exercise in conditional plausibility. Yeah, it could have happened that way.

Robinson spyr hvernig gat það gerst að Darwin hafði sópað undir sig líffræðinni í kringum 1900 og Berlinski sagði þetta:

How did it happen that Marxism swept its field, swept it so thoroughly and completely that a hundred million people had to die before someone realized "You know, that's not such a swell theory after all. That theory may have certain problems.

Síðan fjallar Berlinski um Miklahvell og fínstillingu lögmálanna og hérna er eitt sem hann sagði sem mér fannst áhugavert.

Berlinski
It's certainly moving and disturbing that 20th-century cosmology should have rejected an ancient view of the universe as moving from the everlasting to the everlasting, with no origin, and embraced a completely different view that is in no way new. It's part of the religious tradition.
