What else could account for fire and rain and lightning and earthquakes? Above all, the wonderful abilities of living things seemed to point to a creator who had a special interest in life. Today we understand most of these things in terms of physical forces acting under impersonal laws. We don't yet know the most fundamental laws, and we can't work out all the consequences of the laws we do know. The human mind remains extraordinarily difficult to understand, but so is the weather. We can't predict whether it will rain one month from today, but we do know the rules that govern the rain, even though we can't always calculate their consequences. I see nothing about the human mind any more than about the weather that stands out as beyond the hope of understanding as a consequence of impersonal laws acting over billions of years.","author":"Steven Weinberg","tags":["human-mind","intelligence"],"id":9550,"author_id":"Steven+Weinberg"},{"text":"We ought to regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its antecedent state and as the cause of the state that is to follow. An intelligence knowing all the forces acting in nature at a given instant, as well as the momentary positions of all things in the universe, would be able to comprehend in one single formula the motions of the largest bodies as well as the lightest atoms in the world, provided that its intellect were sufficiently powerful to subject all data to analysis; to it nothing would be uncertain, the future as well as the past would be present to its eyes. The perfection that the human mind has been able to give to astronomy affords but a feeble outline of such an intelligence.","author":"Pierre-Simon Laplace","tags":["analysis","astronomy","certainty","comprehension","data","determinism","eyes","formula","free-will","human-mind","intelligence","lack-of-free-will","mind","motion","naturalism","nature","omniscience","past","perfection","physics","present","science","space","time","universe"],"id":9799,"author_id":"Pierre-Simon+Laplace"},{"text":"The perception of reality is something that is constructed by the human mind based on its own needs and knacks.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["brainy","consciousness","consciousness-mind-brain","human-mind","neuroscience","perception","perception-of-reality","reality","science","truth"],"id":10555,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"Let me summarise our delicate position in this universe: Our every word can be our last word; our every look can be our last look!
