Is science compatible with religion?科学与宗教是兼容吗?
留学生宗教哲学论文有一个宗教与科学之间的关系吗?他们合作吗?科学能受过良好教育和有知识的人的宗教信仰和信仰吗?如果把这些问题,以现代平凡的人,我们会得出一个迅速和果断的否定的回答。,这是事实。为什么人是这样认为的吗?
有一个共同的信念,宗教是“鸦片于民”,这就是“虚拟和祭司的职分,也都是外邦人所求的发明的一大片为傻瓜,隐含的个人利益服从和导出为种姓的祭司或一般控制类。这严重困难的人们这样的观点,也没有必要;它可以反驳的几句话,和每一个受过良好教育的人都知道这样的水果都是同时看巨大的无知和可怜的轻率。
我们的历史表明,全世界的人都、原始的,粗糙的,即使是最文化、宗教观念、思想和宗教上的信仰,包括那些没有分成阶级或财产;没有一个阶层的“祭司”或一般都是外邦人所求的,但同时他们笃信宗教(例如,甚至是古老的世界)。总之,小学历史教育是够理解有意识地编造的宗教信仰,但它是本地人,原产权人文精神的弘扬。这是一个许多人一样有图片和概念的善良与邪恶,权利和道德、命令国内市场、经济、社会生活,这样一来,每一个人有一些宗教信仰。
Is there a relation between religion and science? Are they cooperating? Can a scientifically well-educated and intellectual man have a religious faith and beliefs? If to put these questions to a modern ordinary man, we will get a rapid and decisive negative answer. And that is the fact. And why people think so?
There is a common idea that religion is “opium for people”, that it is “fictitious and invented by priests or pagans” in an order to fool great masses, to have their implicit obedience and to derive personal benefits for the caste of priests or for general dominating classes. It seriously difficult to argue with such point of view and there is no necessity; it can be refuted in few words, and every well-educated man knows that such look is simultaneous fruit of both monstrous ignorance and pitiful thoughtlessness.
Our history shows that all people of the world, primitive, rough and even the most cultural, have religious conceptions, ideas and religious faith, including those people that have no dividing into classes or estates; that have no a caste of “priests” or pagans in general, but at the same time they are deeply religious (for example, even people of the ancient world). In a word, elementary historical education is sufficient for understanding that religious faith was not invented consciously, but it is the native, original property of human spirit. It is the same as a lot of people have pictures and conceptions of good and evil, rights and morality, orders of domestic, economic, public life, so it follows that every people have some religious beliefs.
Religion and science are the two methods of explanation of the same reality, namely: essences and origins of the world, life, man, as a living being. But these two explanations are extremely opposite, and that is why, acknowledging one, it is impossible to acknowledge another. For example, religious idea of the universe, where earth is in a center, God lives high in the sky, paradise or “kingdom of heaven” is also there, and somewhere below, under the ground, there is hell. These facts are certainly inadmissible for the scientific picture of universe endlessness: the Earth’s revolution round the Sun and many others. The Religious studies about the God’s creation of a man are not adjusted with the conclusions of evolutional studies about affinity of the whole organic world and about the gradual origin of a man from the lower organisms. It is at that time, in the middle of the XIX-th century when the materialistic explanation of nature can fully replace religion. Moreover, the religious study of Christianity, for example about Christ’s birth from the Virgin Maria, is absolutely incompatibly with the most elementary biological information, and from their point of view it is the complete and the roughest nonsense. All in all, religion and science have the same questions, but different answers as it is cited in the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry:
“There are many areas where religionists and scientists
make radically different truth claims. Some of them are:
(1) Does the soul or consciousness exist, as a separate
and distinct entity; or is it a function of the brain?
(2) Does science provide evidence for “intelligent
design,” or does evolutionary biology suffice without it?
(3) Is it possible to influence the healing of persons by
praying for them at a distance, or are the tests
performed completely unreliable?”
So, speaking in general: religion assumes wonders on every step, i.e. violations of natural laws, firmly set in science. That is why it is necessary to choose between a religious and scientific view on life all the time. As science depends on exact proofs, and religion requires a blind faith from us, there can be no oscillation in a choice. Religion is incompatible with science, and the more persons scientifically formed, the more he grounds to reject the outdated and refuted mistake and religious faith.
But all in all it is too much personal, whether you believe in God or not. It is up for every person to decide what route to choose, as everything is based on our inner soul condition. There are a lot of people who believe that religion does not conflict with science, but it is also compatible, it is closely related to it and has the common spirit with it; and this spirit can be a unique condition of really healthy attitude toward life, rescuing a man from every narrow-mindedness and weakness, from narrow-minded feeble mind and slave weakness.
