JESUS REFLECTS ON THEPROBABILISTIC NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE

Luke 13: 1-5

There were some present at that very time who told Jesusof the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with theirsacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that theseGalileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans,because they suffered thus? I tell you, No; but unless yourepent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen uponwhom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you thinkthat they were worse offenders than all the others whodwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, No; but unless you repentyou will all likewise perish."

John 9: 1-3

As Jesus passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And his Disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this manor his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Itwas not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that theworks of God might be made manifest in him."

"For we must remember that the materialistphilosophy (whether true or not) is certainly muchmore limiting than any religion... The Christian isquite free to believe that there is a considerableamount of settled order and inevitabledevelopment in the universe. But, the materialistis not allowed to admit into his spotless machinethe slightest speck of spiritualism or miracle...Spiritual doctrines do not actually limit the mindas do materialistic denials.”

G.K. Chesterton in "Orthodoxy"[1874-1936]
