354.Bertrand Russell Gave Christianity a Great Message
'Riemann, who was logically the immediate predecessor of Einstein, brought in a new idea of which the importance was not perceived for half a century. He considered that geometry ought to start from the infinitesimal, and depend upon integration for statements about finite lengths, areas, or volumes. This requires, inter alia, the replacement of the straight line by the geodesic: the latter has a definition depending; upon infinitesimal distances, which the former has not. The traditional view was that, while the lengths of a curve could, in general, only be defined as a whole, not as the limit or a sum of the little bits. Riemann's view was that a straight line does not differ from a curve in this respect. Moreover, measurements being performed by means of bodies, is a physical operation, and its results depend for their interpretation upon the laws of physics. This point of view has turned out to be a very importance. Its scope has been extended by the theory of relativity, but in essence it is to be found in Riemann's dissertation.'
Bertrand Russell also wrote the book, 'Why I Am Not a Christian'.(click) In this book, Russell said, 'I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue.' This book was edited with Lord Russell's full approval and cooperation, by Professor Paul Edwards of the Philosophy Department of New York University. In an Appendix, Professor Edwards contributes a full account of the highly controversial "Bertrand Russell Case" of 1940, in which Russell was judicially declared "unfit" to teach philosophy at the College of the City of New York. Whether the reader shares or rejects Bertrand Russell's views, he will find this book an invigorating challenge to set notions, a masterly statement of a philosophical position, and a pure joy to read.
When Russell found Riemann's geometry on God's universe and then told people why he is not a Christian, Russell told Christians a great message of the future because the Riemann geometry destroys atheism and the Big Bang theory. Today, we are in the 21st century and many people still do not understand God's geometries. Maybe Pope Francis has turned his attention to the Little Gods, who begin to understand their knowledge about how God acts and works forever.
