Although Professor Stephen Hawking disagrees, Albert Einstein said about the Universe, “I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.”
In terms of U.S. domestic and foerign policy, I do believe that the current administration is, “an inveterate gambler, who throws the dice on every possible occasion,” to quote Hawking’s conclusion about God.
