Revolution 2.0

Introduction Among many people, there is a belief that a Grand Unifying theory, a G. U. T., when once discovered, will be able to completely explain the universe in a way that eliminates any need for a belief in God.  I believe that the G. U. T. is God. That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode. Continuing Part of our unique and exceptional role in America is to know why we believe what we believe about God–and to be able to communicate those thoughts clearly to others. Stephen Hawking, internationally known theoretical physicist, cosmologist and author, takes this thinking one step further; he believes that the G. U. T. eliminates the need to study philosophy, that science by itself can explain everything. Is this the height of arrogance, or is Hawking onto something? Søren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher and theologian, is known partly for his thoughts about a “leap of faith,” a concept that claims that man can come only so close to believing in God by the use of his reasoning mind.
