The book title is attributed to Albert Einstein, the most important and prominent theoretical physicist of the 20th Century. His view of the origin of the universe was theistic as opposed to an atheistic view that the origin was from random unpredictability or chance. But Einstein had observed a universe of perfect order; there was nothing random about it. He argued that God leaves nothing to chance; God does not play dice.
All agree that the laws of physics that govern the universe are fixed. Biblical views match what astronomers know....the universe had a beginning....was created from nothing.....is governed by a space-time paradigm that is fixed.....and is governed by a constant law of
decay....all exquisitely described in multiple Biblical texts.
The two dominant views of reality, Secular-humanist and Judeo-Christian are compared and contrasted. Two important historical figures were born on the same day....Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. Their contributions to society and culture are explored and contrasted....Lincoln's centered in God, and Darwin's centered in secular humanism. Their contributions are polar opposites reflecting two "societies"....one God centered, the other man centered. One expressing the "Mind of God", the other the "Mind of Man".
These two societies were described by Augustine, the leading Christian theologian of the first millennium. There is conflict between the two societies or "kingdoms". The conflict
at some point in time will be resolved. The question remains, how, where and when.
