The Incredible Steven Weinberg (1933-2021) – Sixty Symbols

EMAILED 3/30/19 TO DR. WEINBERG ON 35th ANNIVERSARY OF FRANCIS SCHAEFFER PASSING:

From Everette Hatcher of Little Rock, AR, Do you know ever meet any of these guys pictured?

On May 15, 1984 Francis Schaeffer passed away (35 years ago ) and on May 15, 1994, the tenth anniversary, I wrotealmost every living Nobel Prize winner (in Science categories) asking them if they could refute the nihilistic message of the song  DUST IN THE WIND and I included a cassette tape. (Here is a copy of the letter I sent out to Dr. Stephen Jay Gould which was divided in 4 parts [Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4] ). That tape started off with the 3 minute song DUST IN THE WIND by the rock group KANSAS and it was followed by the message by Adrian Rogers on  Evolution. The song asserts, “All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see, Dust in the wind, All we are is Dust in the wind.” In the light of evolution in a closed system, is Kerry Livgren the author of the song right about humans ultimate future?

In the 1970’s  I was a member of Bellevue Baptist in Memphis where Adrian Rogers was pastor and I was a student at Evangelical Christian School (ECS)  where I was introduced to the books and films of Francis Schaeffer. During this time I was amazed at how many prominent figures in the world found their way into the works of both Adrian Rogers and Francis Schaefferand I wondered what it would be like to interact with these individuals. Therefore, over 25 years ago I began sending the messages of Adrian Rogers and portions of the works of Francis Schaeffer to many of the secular academics that they mentioned in their works. I was honored that several of these scholars such as Edward O. Wilson, Francisco J. Ayala,  Gerald Holton, Albert Ellis, Paul Kurtz, Peter Singer, James D. Watson, Thomas H. Jukes, Noam Chomsky, Ernst Mayr,  Carl Sagan, Antony Flew, Daniel Bell, Motoo Kimura, Kevin Padian, Glenn T. Seaborg, and  George Wald took  time to write me back.

Thank you for your time. I know how busy you are and I want to thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Everette Hatcher,

P.O. Box 23416, Little Rock, AR 72221, United States, cell ph 501-920-5733, everettehatcher@gmail.com,

I am grieved to hear of the death of Dr. Steven Weinberg who I have been familiar with since reading about him in 1979 in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE? by Dr. C. Everett Koop and Francis Schaeffer. I have really enjoyed reading his books and DREAMS OF A FINAL REALITY and TO EXPLAIN THE WORLD were two of my favorite!

Steven Weinberg: To Explain the World

I have a friend — or had a friend, now dead — Abdus Salam, a very devout Muslim, who was trying to bring science into the universities in the Gulf states and he told me that he had a terrible time because, although they were very receptive to technology, they felt that science would be a corrosive to religious belief, and they were worried about it… and damn it, I think they were right. It is corrosive of religious belief, and it’s a good thing too.
