The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the universe is the merest illusion.
The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.
I believe everyone should have a broad picture of how the universe operates and our place in it. It is a basic human desire. And it also puts our worries in perspective.
I look for what needs to be done. After all, that's how the universe designs itself.
The universe is not indifferent to our existence - it depends on it.
There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.
In the divine milieu, all the elements of the universe touch each other by that which is most inward and ultimate in them. There they concentrate, little by little, all that is purest and most attractive in them without loss and without danger of subsequent corruption.
The only thing that makes sense is if the universe is beautiful and simple and elegant.
The universe is more than mere matter in motion. It and we were brought into being by a Creator who seeks our good.
