The Origin (or 1,2,3,4) of Christianity by C.S. Lewis Doodle (Introduction to 'The Problem of Pain')

[@CSLewisDoodle]

14:48 Christianity, like reality, is a bit of a slap in the face. In the unbridged chapter, C.S. Lewis uses the concepts of (a) quantized energy, (b) speed, and (c) the shape of the universe, as a metaphor to show that the Christian story is not something that can be predicted, just as quantum mechanics revealed a fundamental aspect of the universe that defied the expectations of Newtonian physics. C.S. Lewis: “Science itself has already made reality appear less homogeneous than we expected it to be: Newtonian atomism was much more the sort of thing we expected (and desired) than Quantum physics” (Nature and Supernature, 'Miracles'). - Robert Millikan in 1914 confirmed that energy is quantized as "energy packets" (not continuous), or photons, additionally showing that the electron is both a wave and a particle, verifying Einstein's theory from 1905 about the quantization of energy (E=hν). - For centuries, physicists thought there was no limit to how fast an object could travel. But Einstein showed that the universe does, in fact, have a speed limit: the speed of light in a vacuum (that is, empty space). Nothing can travel faster than 300,000 kilometers per second (186,000 miles per second). - The reality of the cosmos was even a shock to Einstein himself, who by his pioneering theory had opened the way to exploring it. It was only in 1931, after visiting Hubble in California, that Einstein accepted cosmic expansion and discarded at long last his vision of a static Cosmos. Einstein’s equations provided a much richer universe than the one Einstein himself had originally imagined or wanted. Unabridged Quote: "Christianity has the seemingly arbitrary and idiosyncratic character which modern science is slowly teaching us to put up with in this wilful universe, where energy is made up of little parcels of a quantity no-one could predict, where speed is not unlimited, where irreversible entropy gives time a real direction and the cosmos, no longer static or cyclic, moves like a drama from a real beginning to a real end" ('The Problem of Pain', Introductory Chapter).

More complex philosophy made easily understandable to us plebs. Keep up the good work sir. I wish every major philosopher had a dedicated doodler, especially pre 1800s. You have to tackle complex ideas and simultaneously translate the old ways of speaking. One can dream.

These are soo well done. Like a animation illustrating the most iconic thinkers of the last century. C.S. Lewis would be inspired.

Thank you for posting this one. More wonderfully profound insights from the great C.S. Lewis, brilliantly illustrated. Absolutely mesmerizing! You are doing a great thing that is blessing many. I am deeply grateful for your work, and pray that the Lord will bless it to his glory.

I've been looking for a doodle version of this segment, thanks for the upload! This section of the book really had a massive impact on me years back.

[@robertkrog2429]

This is awesome. Thank you. I’ve been waiting on your next doodle to drop.

Was not expecting fish slap. No one expects fish slap.

[@markheaney]

Lewis had a very logical mind (like God).

[@dpainter1526]

That slap with the fish...!😂 Fantastic video!

[@terryhollifield9343]

Another brilliant one! The ichtus slap at the end was unexpected and made me laugh out loud. It was perfectly placed. Side note: are there prints of the illustrations created for the videos available? I'm sure I can't be the o ly one who would hang something like that on a wall.

Wow. I suspect that this video is going to be very hard for most of us to digest! Humanity would be trapped in the physical realms without God's revelation and rescue from ultimate spiritual realities.
