Quotes by John Hands (?)

“Neither any modifications to the Inflationary Big Bang model nor any competing conjectures currently provide a satisfactory scientific, as distinct from mathematical, explanation of the origin of the matter of which we consist and why the universe took the very particular form, rather than any other form, that allowed the eventual evolution of humans. There must be an explanation—and one of these conjectures may eventually supply it—but cosmology has problems meeting the generally accepted tests that differentiate science from speculation or belief.”

“Most cosmological explanations say or assume that matter behaves and evolves according to the laws of physics. Hence the fundamental question is what caused these laws to exist? As we shall see in Chapter 28 when I examine the evolution of philosophical thinking, there is no clear answer. Even the archetypal rationalist Aristotle was compelled by following the chain of causality to conclude that the first cause must be self-causing, eternal, unchanging, without physical attributes, and hence divine.”

“Neither science nor reasoning offers a convincing explanation of the origin and form of the universe, and hence of the origin of the matter and energy of which we consist. I think it most likely that it is beyond their ability to do so. In Ellis’s view the ability of science to answer foundational questions is strictly limited. The evidence so far from this quest supports his “profound conclusion that certainty is unattainable at the foundations of understanding in all areas of life, including fundamental physics and cosmology as well as philosophy [and] even the apparently impregnable bastion of mathematics”. This is not a counsel of despair or pessimism. If we accept the limitations of science and reasoning, “we can attain satisfying and even profound understandings of the universe and the way it works, at all times regarded as provisional but nevertheless providing a satisfactory worldview and foundation for action”. Hopefully science will have greater explanatory power when I move on from the emergence of matter to its evolution.”
