El gran diseño

Stephen Hawking,  Leonard Mlodinow
Somos el producto de fluctuaciones cuánticas del universo muy primitivo. Si uno fuera religioso, podría decir que Dios juega realmente a los dados.

Mucha gente a lo largo de los siglos ha atribuido a Dios la belleza y la complejidad de la naturaleza que, en su tiempo, parecían no tener explicación científica. Pero así como Darwin y Wallace explicaron cómo el diseño aparentemente milagroso de las formas vivas podía aparecer sin la intervención de un Ser supremo, el concepto de multiverso puede explicar el ajuste fino de las leyes físicas sin necesidad de un Creador benévolo que hiciera el universo para nuestro provecho.

Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

  Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space Carl Sagan 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. Due to our own actions or inactions, and the misuse of our technology, we live at an extraordinary moment, for the Earth at least - the first time that a species has become able to wipe itself out. But this is also, we may note, the first time that a species has become able to journey to the planets and the stars.   

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

  God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything Christopher Hitchens Religion has run out of justifications. Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, it no longer offers an explanation of anything important. Where once it used to be able, by its total command of a worldview, to prevent the emergence of rivals, it can now only impede or retard -or try to turn back- the measurable advances that we have made. Philosophy begins where religion ends, just as by analogy chemistry begins where alchemy runs out, and astronomy takes the place of astrology. ...religion was spread not by example but as an auxiliary to the more old-fashioned methods of holy war and imperialism.

Humankind: A Hopeful History

  Humankind: A Hopeful History Rutger Bregman When we're holed up in our own trenches, we lose sight of reality. We're lured into thinking that a small hate-mongering minority reflects all humankind.(...) To believe people are hardwired to be kind isn't sentimental or naive. On the contrary, it's courageous and realistic to believe in peace and forgiveness.
