ENGLISH VERSION

All that Michio Kaku says about physics is quite well-informed. After all, he is a physicist. The question we have in the front section of our mind all the time is “Why does Michio Kaku look for the God Equation.? What does God have to do with physics? The answer only comes late in chapter seven, page 189: “I am an agnostic.” What is an agnostic? It is not an atheist. An atheist negates the existence of God, and thus by this negation gives that God some consistency since you do not negate something that does not exist. You do not need to do that. You do not need to negate the existence of lunar satellites, because there is none. An agnostic does not negate the existence of God but considers it has no importance at all for him or her. But this is a figure of speech from Michio Kaku on page 189 because on page 191 he quotes and uses the “five ways” of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and he does not neglect the “sainthood” of the Christian philosopher or theologian. His agnosticism is the introduction to Thomas Aquinas. Hence definitely, Michio Kaku is not an agnostic, at least no longer in this seventh chapter because he centers his thinking, then, on God and both his existence and his nature. I would like to just concentrate on this point.

He starts very badly by stating there are two Gods when in fact he states three different Gods. But he is thinking binary. Couldn’t we say bipolar?

“There are really two kinds of God… First, there is the personal God, the God you pray to, the God in the Bible [and that’s the second type of god that Kaku does not count though he identifies it, my specification],] who smites the Philistines and rewards the believers. He did not believe in that God. He did not believe that the God who created the universe interfered in…
