A bit about God

[...] If God existed (concerning wich Jubal maintained neutrality) and if He wanted to be worshiped (a proposition wich Jubal found improbable but nevertheless possible in the light of is own ignorance), then it seemed wildly umlikely that God potent to shape galaxies would be swayed by the whoop-te-do nonsense the fosterites offered as "worship".[...]

[...] The universe was a silly place at best... but the least likely explanation of random chance, the conceit that abstract somethings "just happened" to be atoms that "just happened" to get together in ways wich "hust happened" to look like consistent laws and some configurations "just happened" to possess self-awareness and two "just happened"[...]

No, he could not swallow the "just happened" theory, popular as it was with men who called themselves scientist. Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe - random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance; the pot could not hold itself.[...]

Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert A. Heinlein

"(...)Eventually Stranger in a Strange Land became a cult classic , attracting many readers who would not ordinarily have read a work of science fiction. The late- 1960s counterculture , popularized by the hippie movement, was influenced by its themes of individual liberty, self-responsibility, sexual freedom and the influence of organized religion on human culture and government, and adopted the book as something of a manifesto . (...)Like many influential works of literature, Stranger made a contribution to the language: specifically, the word " grok ." In Heinlein's invented Martian language, " grok " literally means "to drink" and figuratively means "to understand," "to love," and "to be one with." This word rapidly became common parlance among science fiction fans, hippies, and computer hackers, and has since entered the Oxford English Dictionary among others."

Luck? God? Coincidence?

Tinha um encontro marcado... Num sitio que não conhecia e estava a ficar atrasada! Vi uns polícias (a quem dava jeito perguntar onde era o local procurado) numa transversal há rua que eu estava... Sentido proibido (claro!!!)... Ok... Penso eu, viro na rua a seguir, dou a volta ao bloco, apareço por trás deles e pergunto-lhes! Assim faço... e... Ruas de sentido unico, obrigatórios virar pra todo o sitio que não quero ir... Cada vez me afasto mais dos polícias.... Aiiii... Que estou completamente perdida, agora!!!! Em ruelas pequenas no meio de uma cidade que não conheço! Já sei: Vou seguir um carro... Perdida, por perdida, ele vai-me levar a algum lado... E assim fiz: segui um carro! Um qualquer... Sobe... Vira há direita e.... Ooohhhh... Estou há frente do edíficio que procurava!!! E a horas!!!!
