Do mundo e do Homem (original) (raw)

2024, From the World and the Man

At the end of the 19th century, the conception of a physical, material, Newtonian universe was abandoned, in favor of the conception that everything in the Universe is energy and in a Universe that, as a model, is accepted to have had a spontaneous beginning, our planet, integrated into a galaxy of existing million is a geometric point, that is, (almost) dimensionless. In the second half of the 18th century AD, the First Industrial Revolution began, with the replacement of manufacturing by machine manufacturing. And the gears that move the world began to work at full steam, while the world cries out for help, as the utilitarian, anthropocentric vision can only lead to the end of human life and civilization as we know it, which, inevitably, leads us to think about who we are and that our species, heir to Cain, violent and murderous, could reach its climax and disappear. But life will survive on Earth, which will protect its “seeds”, and God's creative Principle, of communion and love, will lead to the creation of a new heaven and a new earth and perhaps the true Genesis is not at the beginning, but at the end. Only then would God, looking at everything he had done and found “very good” [Gen 1, 31], construct, after so much evil, a truly good ending.
