Anton Hajduk: Boží vesmír

Zaujímalo ma ako autor tejto knihy pristupuje k Biblii a otázke Boha, pretože jeho vedecká činnosť je celkom pôsobivá. Ako fyzik a astronóm získal vzdelanie v prírodných vedách a získal titul profesora. Bol rektorom Trnavskej univerzity a venoval sa kresťanskej filozofii. A bol Slovák :-).

Úvodom je spomenutá hranica medzi vedou a Bohom, kam obe siahajú, či majú spoločné smerovanie alebo či je možné pristupovať k nim rovnakou mierou. Spoločná otázka bytia a života je tu položená ako výzva pre človeka, pretože vedie k jeho postoju k životu.

Ďalšie dve kapitoly hovoria o vzniku a štruktúre vesmíru. Štvrtá kapitola rozoberá život vo vesmíre, rôzne možnosti vzniku života, antropický princíp a podobne. V tejto kapitole autor prezentuje svoj pohľad na túto problematiku s dávkou logiky a s dobrou argumentáciou. Postupne sa nevtieravo objavuje aj jeho kresťanský pohľad.

Posledná kapitola je už viacmenej konfrontácia Biblie a vesmíru. Je to podľa mňa najzaujímavejšia kapitola. Nejde len o samotnú Bibliu ale aj postoj Cirkvi, poukázanie na chyby, interpretácie. Veľmi na zaujala časť od Josepha Ratzingera a jeho vysvetľovanie a filozofia (moja ďalšia kniha, ktorú čítam je preto práve od neho). Mal som predtým pocit, že sa viera mení kvôli novým poznatkom o svete, o človeku. No terajší vývoj aj vďaka Ratzingerovi zdá sa nie je o dogmatickom priesviedčaní ale o skromnosti a rozvážnosti pred novými poznatkami. Každá kniha, podobne ako aj táto, ktorá uvádza aj iný pohľad, v tomto prípade ateistický a to hlavne Weinbergov, ma dokáže veľmi osloviť a ak autor aj racionálne vysvetlí a dokonca rešpektuje iný názor, považujem to za kvalitný odborný prístup.

Rozhodne dobrá knižka. Autorov štýl mi bol celkom blízky a mal štruktúru v ktorej som sa ľahko orientoval. V knihe je aj krátka obrazová príloha.

iMac G3: Mac OS X 10.4.11

So my goal to install Mac OS X Tiger has come true. Firstly I needed Tiger on CD's and that was a big problem because you can buy Tiger mostly on DVD although there are also some CD versions but very expensive. But I was lucky because friend of my friend, Neuromanc, lent me this very rare 4-CD version. So thanks again :-). My iMac is not officially supported because it has no FireWire. But you can override this with software XPostFacto . I downloaded and installed the latest version so I could use it with Mac OS X 10.3 (the previous versions worked only with OS 9). I erased HDD entirely before the installation just to be sure. After first restart the installation continued from other CD's. The installation process took approximately one hour and ran without problem. After registration the update process started-up and took another hour or more. It was repeated several times ma inly due to Java updates. Then finally I could download software and this time the latest versions. I ...

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning w...

Thanksgiving in Auburn, upstate NY

Mia and I had hoped to spend our Thanksgiving with our families and friends, but this is 2020. First we were thinking about traveling South (e.g. Virginia), but the driving would be just too long for us. Then we thought about going North and we both agreed that the Finger Lakes region beckoned to be discovered by us. For this trip, Mia suggested bringing our road bikes and I just could not say no. We found a very affordable Airbnb in Auburn, upstate NY. Driving there was not that long (~4.5 hours) but because we were not in a hurry, we came to town in the evening - Thanksgiving evening. We naively thought that we could get dinner in town, so after we checked in our Airbnb, we drove downtown. Surprise, surprise - everything was closed. Luckily, Mia packed frozen gluten-free pizza, avocados, apples and other food so our Thanksgiving was saved! Our apartment had a stove, oven and microwave oven and we could prepare meals for the evening and for our whole stay in Auburn. Next day we chose ...
