Week 5, Freeman Dyson

He claims to be a religious eson without any isms. He describeshimself as being a Christian without the theology. He states thatwhen theology is taken away of Christianity, it is left witha "community of people in the church who are takincare of each other.There is a great dal of beautiful languages, music and its art formis much more than a philisophy." I found him very pleasant and abit entertaining only because he seems to get amused by the fact thathis works are taken out of context and in reality are interpreted ina totally different way. He describes his work as poetry that havesome truth in theory, but are not proven scientifically. His opinionabout science and religion is that they are compatible , but that hisscience is just a trade that is not connected in any way toreligion.He also talked a bit about how society has changed drastically overtime. In the 1930's the world was faced with many disadvantages andthrough out the years, society was able to overcome it. Hestated "we survived that era, then certainly we can survive ourproblems now." I think that with what we are going through now, isgoing to be tough for us to get out of because its gotten out ofhand. If we would be fighting for a good cause, I would understandour presence in another country, but our presence is just makingthings worse and issues not getting solved. I do hope that this eraovercomes its obsticles. Freeman Dyson state "you need a bit ofreligion to be able to live," and I absolutely agree with him.
