On Life
“The big bang is obviously one form of beginning, but the big bang in itself is unimaginable.”
Ursula Goodenough (1943) American biologist
Science and Spirit interview (2004)
Context: The big bang is obviously one form of beginning, but the big bang in itself is unimaginable. It's one thing to think about God making a flower or infusing the planet with love, but to imagine what might be behind the big bang is so removed from real life that it actually loses importance for me. There's so much else to think about that's here and now. I like the Buddhist concept of beginning-less-ness, that the universe has always been going on.
