12 - Science has no end!

Professor Wang Xi spread his hands, "And the Internet says that Einstein studied theology in his later years, which is even more unreliable."

"Einstein has made it clear on many occasions that he does not believe in any religion. You can check this on the Internet. Before his death, he wrote a letter on religion and philosophy."

"In the letter, Einstein expounded his consistent view of God, so it was called "God's Letter" by later generations!"

"And the word 'God' that Einstein used did not refer to the God of religion, but to 'Spinoza's God', the laws of physics for the entire world."

Speaking of this, the professor's expression slowly became serious.

"Not only Newton and Einstein, but when I was surfing the Internet, I found a survey circulating on the Internet, a survey called 'Gallup Poll'."

"The survey said that of the 300 most famous scientists in the last 300 years, except for 38 who could not find out their beliefs, 242 of the remaining 262 scientists believed in God, and only 20 were unbelievers!"

"I believe that all of you who have been on the Internet have heard of this survey, but when I checked the literature again, I never found the source of this survey. The so-called "Gallup Poll" is a A quiz that no one in academia has ever seen before..."

"What's more, modern science was not born 300 years ago, and real modern science has a history of only more than 100 years. Why does this survey activity not use scientists from the past 100 years as samples, but take scientists from the old era 300 years ago as samples? "

"Don't say 300 years, even 200 years ago, the influence of religion was still very large. Even if some scientists were atheists, under the extreme social atmosphere at that time, would they dare to publicly express their true feelings?"

Professor Wang Xi paced as he spoke, and his rebuttals drew silence from the audience.

"With this doubt, although I didn't find the "Gallup Poll", I found a reverse survey..."

"The survey showed that in 1914, the proportion of members of the North American Academy of Sciences who believed in 'God' was still 27%, but in 1998, the proportion of believers in 'God' was only 7%, and this proportion dropped enough Hurry up?"

"Of course, even if only 7% of the academicians of the Academy of Sciences believe in "God", that's a long list, hehe..."

Professor Wang Xi chuckled, "I know, there must be some people who are not convinced and say, 'You said that the investigation of scientists' religious beliefs is false, so why is your investigation real?'"

"Sorry, my investigation is really real!"

Speaking, Professor Wang Xi turned on the projector, and a screenshot of a document suddenly appeared on the huge screen.

"This paper was published on July 23, 1998 in one of the world's top scientific journals, "Nature", at page 313 of volume 394, and the title of this paper is - "Leading scientists still reject God "!"

Immediately, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

"Then, let's go back to the original topic."

Professor Wang Xi paced proudly, "Since the phrase 'the end of science is theology' was not said by Einstein or Newton, who actually said it? I searched a lot of scientific literature, but nothing Find out."

"So, I have a bold guess..."

Professor Wang Xi's eyes gradually became serious, "This sentence must be said by a sand sculpture netizen!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The audience burst into laughter, and many people applauded in unison again.

"Actually, there are many similar rumors, such as 'Scientists have spent thousands of years to reach the top of the mountain, only to find that theologians and Buddhist scholars are already waiting for them on the mountain',

Or say, "Religion without science is blind, but science without religion cannot advance" and so on. "

Professor Wang Xi was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "If you search for these keywords on the Internet, you will find that the entire Internet is full of such rumors, and the rumor-mongers even make up many famous quotes that seem to be philosophical, and because of these rumors It's very 'positive energy', and it has even been forwarded by some authoritative websites, which is terrifying!"

"And those posts that refute the rumors are very few, drowned in the endless sea of ​​rumors..."

With a sigh, Professor Wang Xi continued, "I do not deny that there are many things in the world that cannot be explained by modern science, such as 'soul'."

"I don't know if there is a soul in the world, but even if there is, the soul is just an undiscovered 'life form' or 'natural phenomenon'."

"The inability of modern science to explain the existence of the soul does not mean that the soul is beyond science, just because science is not developed enough to explain the principle of the existence of the soul."

Professor Wang Xi laughed and said, "I know that after hearing this sentence, some people will think that they will objectively admonish me: Don't be 'superstitious in science', I am very strange-why are there 'superstition' and 'no belief' when it comes to science Do you think that science is a religion?”

"I'm not asking everyone to hate religion. You must know that religion, as a religion, attributes all human beings and all things to an almighty God. Although there are many drawbacks, it did bring prosperity and stability to mankind in the period of ignorance and backwardness. , providing a breeding ground for the birth of scientific sprouts."

Professor Wang Xi explained, "But, science and theology are really two things..."

"The reason why science is different from theology is that it does not require anyone to believe it, and it does not make its own point of view, but directly uses observational data and experimental results to prove itself."

"Our attitude towards science should be a completely objective approach away from subjective consciousness, because experimental results will not be transferred with people's consciousness."

"Whether you believe it or not, love it or hate it, persist or give up, the results of scientific experiments are there!"

Professor Wang Xi's voice gradually became high, full of power,

"Science is not a religion, it is the law of the world's operation, the microscopic particle composition of the world, and the way to describe the world that is finally gathered through numerous experimental demonstrations and conclusions!"

"It is a completely objective existence, whether you have discovered it or not, it has always been there and has never been changed!"

The applause from the audience became more and more enthusiastic, and countless students stood up one after another and applauded desperately.

In the body of the old professor, they seem to see the shadow of those scientific sages who devoted themselves to defending the truth.

Ascoli, who first discovered that the earth is spherical, Copernicus who insisted on the "heliocentric theory", Servetus, the discoverer of "pulmonary circulation", and Galileo, the founder of modern experimental science...

At this moment, everyone has a kind of enlightenment in their hearts.

The end of science will not be theology because...

Science has no end!
