Джон Хорган - Конец науки - Взгляд на ограниченность знания на закате Века Науки

Существует только один теологический вопрос, по-настоящему имеющий значение: если Бог есть, то почему он создал мир с таким количеством страданий? Мой опыт предлагает ответ: если Бог есть, то он создал мир из страха и отчаяния, а также из радости и любви. Это мое решение загадки существования, и мне требовалось им поделиться. Позвольте мне тут быть абсолютно честным. Моей истинной целью написания «Конца науки» было установление новой религии — «Церкви Святого Страха». Если я стану главой культа, то это будет приятной переменой темпа — не говоря уж о том, что более прибыльным, чем занятие журналистикой.
