Multiple choice

Direction: Do as directed for the question.

"It is a great adventure to contemplate the universe without man, as it was in a great part of its long history and as it is in a great majority of places. When this objective view is finally attained, and the mystery and majesty are fully appreciated, to then turn the objective eye back on man viewed as matter, to see life as part of this universal mystery of greatest depth is to sense an experience which is very rare and very exciting. It usually ends in laughter and a delight in the futility of trying to understand what this atom in the universe is, this thing - atom with curiosity - that looks at itself and wonders why it wonders. Well, these scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it was all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate." What is the theme of the passage?

  1. Man is only on the fringes of this seemingly endless and timeless universe.

  2. The vastness of universe is beyond the imagination of man.

  3. The universe that is seemingly, though spaciously, boundless in space and time, cannot possibly be a stage for man’s struggles for observance by an almighty.

  4. The universe, despite its vastness and seeming eternity, is only a stage where God watches man’s struggle for good and evil.

  5. Though man is but a miniscule in space and time, he is central in God’s scheme of things.
