Are people still Indians?
UPD : This post in no way affects the IT-theme.
Hello.
Today became the innocent bystander dispute about God. One of the participants in the dispute - an atheist - argued that there is no God and that's it. Another argued that God is the Law of this world, perhaps the law of the energetic interaction of everything and everything. After all, no one will argue that the essence of all material is pure energy (well, or something like that). And here are some of the arguments of this person I would like to discuss ...
Imagine such an allegory.
15th century, North America, Indian tribe. Suddenly, out of nowhere, you appear, Lamborghini Diablo, and quite a specific task - to teach the Indians to control an iron horse. It seems to me two ways to solve it:
')
1. Difficult way - “theoretical”
Take the most savvy young men of the tribe. Teach them writing, hammer in the necessary knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry. Explain the principle of the internal combustion engine, give an idea of ​​the braking system, aerodynamics, traffic rules, etc. Take the exam, give rights and see how the Lamborghini will be broken on the first sequoia by the first student. Probably )
2. The easy way - “practical”
Take the young son of the chief of the tribe. Show him clearly how and why three pedals are pressed, how smoothly and in what cases the manual transmission lever is switched; make the young man believe that the steering wheel controls the horse, and not vice versa. Drive with him a day with the letter "U" on the bottom of a dried lake. Make sure that the guy is happy, and ask to throw you to where gasoline is enough. Everything
Now imagine that the Indians are humanity, you are the prophet (Jesus, Mohammed, or some kind of super-psychic thread), and Lamborghini Diablo is the world. And you have quite a specific task - to teach people to live in this world and according to the laws of this world. And again there are two ways to solve it:
1. Difficult way
uh ... do not even know. Probably explain what is what and why everything is so and not otherwise. UPD : and how to walk on water and spoon bending thoughts)
2. "Easy" way
Write the 10 commandments, or sing 114 suras, or some other instruction. So that people live, be sad, happy and not go crazy.
You quite logically ask me: “Man, where is Habr here? Where is IT? ”I answer:
There is no IT here. Just today is the day off. Good mood. Someone writes about children, someone about saving money in trifles. I now decided to share this story and ask you:
“If you were in the place of the prophet today. Which way would you go? On the beaten track or not? Why?"
