Audio only. Mathematician Fred Hoyle gives his opinion on morality and war, on a radio program in the U.S.

Audio only. 'This I Believe' Radio Network Program hosted by Edward R Murrow. Essay on an English mathematician Fred Hoyle. He has taught in Saint John's College of Cambridge University and conducted series of lectures on nature of universe in past. He speaks about visiting church when First World War ended and receiving a sermon telling him to pray to God in thankfulness that the right side had won. But he realized in school that Germans claim the same. Every nation has its own rules of behavior. If a particular action happens to fit in with the rules of society, people describe it as a right or a moral or a just action. Fred Hoyle adds that he personally doesn't believe that the present world can be run successfully on moral principals. He further speaks that people that outgrows its natural resources becomes both a nuisance and a danger because an over-swollen society sooner or later will try to grab the resources that belong to someone else, which of course must lead to trouble and possibly to war. He says that we are so with self-satisfaction at our righteousness that we are failing to appreciate the really important issues.

Audio only. Chairman of Columbia University Robert M Maciver speaks about his beliefs and memories on a radio program in the US

Audio only. 'This I Believe' radio network program episode. Essay on Chairman of Columbia University, Sociology Department, Robert M Maciver. He speaks about his ways of observing things when he was young. He further explains that we never learn things and the causes of things. We learn more about things and the things change amazingly as we learn but we never learn to explain their being. We discover the atom and it becomes another form of energy. It’s hard to explain the form of energy. If someday energy turns out to be something else again, we are no nearer explaining than before. He says that everything belongs forever with other things, but how it belongs and will belong he cannot comprehend. He speaks that we have something in common, the common pulse, the common life, a common destiny. He adds that the wonder is within him, encompasses him and lies forever beyond. Knowing no name for it, he calls it God.
