Meaning of deus ex machina




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

deus ex machina
  21

Latinism which translates Hellenism apo mechanés theos ( God brought a crane ) as did appear in scene to the gods the ancient Greeks to solve an impossible situation. This model of God, tapa-agujeros, soluciona-problemas or explains-empty scientific theories has been highly criticized by Catholic theology, as when the science it explain everything, if someday comes, would disappear the need for its existence. In other areas such as the literary or film is the unexpected and miraculous solution's a situation impossible to solve, as a random implausible and impossible to foresee for the reader or viewer.
