The Universe Marvelously Arranged

  • I find Albert Einstein to be very intelligent when it comes to theoretical physics, though he came off as something of a horndog, and he seems wanting when writing his personal thoughts and allowing interpretation by those who would read much into them.  For instance, when he states "our limited minds grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations," I have to balk.  If we truly "grasp" the mysterious force, it would no longer be mysterious.  In truth, our limited minds constantly attempt to grasp at much we find mysterious and, as he also states, "We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws."  So, which is it?  Do our "limited minds grasp" anything, or do we "dimly understand these laws" through what we see?  Of course, I would never read anything into what Albert says (yeah, right) any more than I would deign to interpret what God really meant to say in the Ten Commandments by egotistically picking and choosing from scripture, written by men, and then combining those chosen into a biblical text we can proclaim as "holy" and the definitive "Word of God."
