“I personally have more faith than the average writer in people's willingness to be complicated, and so I'm thrilled by what's happened. I'm elated at audiences' willingness to handle complexity. In some sense, I feel like my belief in what people are capable of is being validated.” PeopleFeelsBeliefAudienceHappenedCapableAverageComplicatedHandleComplexityWillingness Author:Michael Loceff
“The discovery of radioactivity created a momentary chaos in chemistry and physics; but it soon led to a fuller interpretation of the old ideas. It dispersed many difficulties, harmonized many discords, and yea, more! It shewed the substance of Universe as a simplicity of Light and Life, manners to compose atoms, themselves capable of deeper self-realization through fresh complexities and organizations, each with its own peculiar powers and pleasures, each pursuing its path through the world where all things are possible.” WorldIdeasSelfLightUniversePleasurePathCapableDiscoveryAll ThingsOrganizationDifficultyChaosSimplicityDeeperPhysicsSelf RealizationRealizationMannersSubstanceComplexityInterpretationChemistryPeculiarAtomsMomentaryDiscordOld Ideas Author:Aleister Crowley

“If we want to postulate a deity capable of engineering all the organized complexity in the world, either instantaneously or by guiding evolution, that deity must have been vastly complex in the first place. The creationist, whether a naive Bible-thumper or an educated bishop, simply postulates an already existing being of prodigious intelligence and complexity. If we are going to allow ourselves the luxury of postulating organized complexity without offering an explanation, we might as well make a job of it and simply postulate the existence of life as we know it!” IfsKnowsWorldWantFirstsWellsHas BeensMightJobsExistenceEvolutionCapableComplexesEducatedLuxuryExplanationComplexityOrganizedOfferingEngineeringNaiveDeitiesBishopsProdigiousCreationistExistence Of LifeBible Thumpers Author:Richard Dawkins

“On one planet [earth], and possibly only one planet in the entire universe, molecules that would normally make nothing more complicated than a chunk of rock, gather themselves together into chunks of rock-sized matter of such staggering complexity that they are capable of running, jumping, swimming, flying, seeing, hearing, capturing and eating other such animated chunks of complexity; capable in some cases of thinking and feeling, and falling in love with yet other chunks of complex matter.” ThinkingMatterFeelingsRunningEarthTogetherFallUniverseCasesSeeingRocksPlanetsEatingCapableComplexesFalling In LoveComplicatedHearingFlyingComplexitySwimmingJumpingAnimatedMoleculesPlanet EarthChunksStaggering Author:Richard Dawkins

“Many of our attempts to understand Christian faith have only cheapened it. I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me. The little we do understand, that grain of sand our minds are capable of grasping, those ideas such as God is good, God feels, God loves, God knows all, are enough to keep our hearts dwelling on His majesty and otherness forever.” KnowsFeelsMindHeartLittlesMadeI CanIdeasEnoughChristianForeverCapableGod LoveComplexitySandBreakfastGrainGod KnowsMajestyDwellingChristian FaithTotalityGraspingGood GodPancakesOthernessGrains Of Sand Book:Miller 3-in-1: Blue Like Jazz, Through Painted Deserts, Searching for God Source: Miller 3-in-1: Blue Like Jazz, Through Painted Deserts, Searching for God
