Chapter 321: The End of Science is Theology

We all know that humans evolved from animals. Animals are born with two instincts, one is to survive and the other is to reproduce.

Under the elimination of natural selection, changes conducive to survival and reproduction are inherited. Changes that are not conducive to survival and reproduction have been annihilated in the long river of history.

This is Darwin's theory of evolution.

So, what determines the reason why people are human and why pigs are pigs?

It's genetic.

Genes determine the difference between humans and pigs, between black Africans and white Europeans, and between two hundred and fifty IQs.

Wushuang, don't roll your eyes at Xiao He, you don't have two hundred, and he is more than fifty. Even if you're human, he's not a pig.

So, what is the basis of evolution?

It's a genetic mutation.

What is a genetic mutation?

When cells divide, they usually replicate themselves precisely and steadily. A coding error occurs incidentally during replication, resulting in a new gene, which is called a genetic mutation.

You heard it right, it's actually just gibberish, which can also be called a BUG.

Coding errors occur by chance, and genetic mutations occur randomly, and there is no good or bad, let alone good or evil.

Good or bad is a functional judgment, whether it is beneficial to oneself, which is the category of scientific research.

Good and evil are value judgments, which do not affect others, and need to be constrained by rules, which is the category of ethical research.

Genetic mutations can cause changes in human traits, such as more muscular, or smarter minds, eyes that see farther, mouths chew more forcefully, and they are larger and can run faster.

Of course, it is also possible that the exact opposite changes.

Those who facilitate access to food ensure survival. If it is conducive to obtaining the right to mate, it will promote reproduction.

If it is not conducive to obtaining food and not having the right to mate, this mutation may not be able to spread.

Another situation is that the climate has changed dramatically, and it is common to be very cold or hot. Those that are hardy to cold or heat will survive, and the rest will be extinct on a large scale. The extinction of entire populations, good and bad.

But there is a default condition in this, everything has to be considered in tens of thousands of years, and the process of natural selection is long.

The apes walked upright, but only two million years ago. Human civilization has developed for less than 10,000 years. In other words, there is not much difference between the current human race and the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanity, in terms of hardware conditions, and there is no such thing as the role of natural selection.

It has only been half a century since genes were confirmed and molecular biology has developed.

All of the above are common knowledge in middle school biology classes.

Here I'm going to knock on the blackboard and remember these three numbers, twenty thousand centuries, one hundred centuries, half a century. Comparing these three numbers in turn, they are all one in two hundred, right?

Oh, let's have a drink first, am I using this as a class?

Oh, Wushuang, are you saying I'm off topic?

Oh, and I still haven't talked about God, so let's talk about God.

Generally speaking, God has the following three attributes: one is to create all things, one is immortality, and the other is to define rules.

Creation of all things, both positive and negative, and negative creation, of course, is the destruction of all things.

Immortality means eternal existence and never perish.

Defining rules means saying the rules of heaven, following the law, formulating the laws of the universe, and telling all things what to do and what not to do, what is right and what is wrong through education or rewards and punishments, that is, moral judgment and value orientation.

In other words, God gives meaning.

To use an analogy, God is an internet writer. He wrote a book, that is, he created a world and made it run according to certain rules. Human beings and all things in this world, whether active, passive, or unconscious, must act according to God's will, and God will conduct an assessment and give rewards and punishments according to the results of the assessment.

Further, the writer is outside of the book. The various stories that take place in the book, the various character interactions, are entirely dependent on the free will of the writer. The characters in the book can't influence the writer at all.

In other words, the writer is the god and the heavens, except for the dead eunuchs who lack virtue.

For the sake of virtue, half of the world is left empty, and there is no one below.

As for the various characters in the book, they gritted their teeth and propagated that they would go against the sky, swallow the sky, kill the gods, and destroy the gods...... It's just a joke. As soon as man thinks, God laughs.

What are you going to say?

Oh, who prescribed the academician can't? Who prescribed the network isn't? Is he a god?

Here's why I look at the Internet......

After talking about God, go back to humans.

In 20,000 centuries, humans have not created any species. In a hundred centuries, humans have destroyed the vast majority of species. And it will eventually destroy them all, except for the domestic animals raised by humans and the beasts protected by humans.

As mentioned above, destruction is negative creation, and destruction is also creation. The god creates, the demon destroys, and the god and the demon are originally one. This is the creation of all things.

On the scale of animal surveys, man is immortal and immortal. This is immortality.

The survival of other animals depends on human preferences, and only those who meet human requirements can reproduce. This is the definition rule.

So, are humans gods to other species?

Yes, humans have long been gods on earth.

Of course, there is an implicit condition in this, in addition to human beings themselves.

Humans are not yet their own gods.

Well, here comes gene editing.

Well, the writer is not a god, the editor is......

Well, the characters in the network are really going against the sky, swallowing the sky, killing gods, and destroying gods.

Well, human beings are going to create all things, human beings are going to create themselves, and this is what has happened for half a century.

"Teacher, is this creation you are talking about a negative creation?" Ning Wushuang felt that he was still not convinced, and hurriedly asked a question while Academician Shi was picking up vegetables.

Aren't the babies edited by Professor He naturally anti-AIDS? How can they be terrible?

Will gene editing destroy humanity?

"It's hard to say yes or no. Academician Shi looked at Ning Wushuang with a smile, "But both positive and negative are disasters." ”

From the beginning of gene editing, the theory of evolution has completely failed.

Where humanity goes is determined only by its own choices.

The first level of the great terror of mankind mentioned earlier has been basically overcome.

The ecological collapse in the second level, which was originally measured in millions of years, has now been changed by humans into hundreds, if not decades, of years.

Organisms other than humans are rapidly and irreversibly becoming extinct.

Long before the destruction of the earth, there were only people left in the world, as well as people's pets and rations, such as cats and dogs, cows, pigs, broilers, rice, wheat, fruits, and vegetables.

The destruction of the Earth, such as an asteroid impact or a change in the Earth's crust, is a time scale of more than 10 million years, but there is no need for mankind to worry about it.

Because before that, humanity had already destroyed itself.

Of course, it is negative to create itself.

Of course, it is also to overcome the great horror of the third level, and everything will not happen in time, just like primitive man will not die of tumors.

The corners of Academician Shi's mouth were clearly smiling.

The audience present clearly felt the cold.

The academician's class is really extraordinary.

Who you go with determines how far you can go. Talking to wise people can improve IQ......

As mentioned earlier, the internal cause of evolution is genetic mutation, and the external cause is natural selection. Genes determine traits and can be passed on to the next generation. In other words, edited genes will also enter the human gene pool, and the consequences are completely unpredictable and uncontrollable. The consequence of collapse is negative creation. After being silent for a while, Academician Shi made a summary, just like the board book in class.

"Sounds like genetically modified food?" Ning Wushuang looked at He Qingbai.

He Qingbai opened his mouth, but finally did not answer.

"Genetically modified food, it is human beings who are creating plants. The consequences, if present, are indirect, inducing genetic mutations through the diet. Gene-edited babies, on the other hand, are directly genetically created. Today we will not talk about this. "Academician Shi thinks that Ning Wushuang is also a good talent, and his understanding ability is still good.

"Shi Lao, I have already heard about negative creation, could you please talk about positive creation? That is equivalent to man creating God, is this also a disaster?" Yu Le raised his hand and asked.

Academician Shi smiled lovely, like a cunning little trader, "Yule, do you want to take my graduate exam, I don't want you 300 million." ”

The few questions that this child occasionally asks show the divergence and leap of his thinking, which is really important for cutting-edge scientific research.

Well, it's a pity to be content to be a billionaire.

Uh, he casually spends three or five hundred million, and more, and is already more than a billionaire?

Hey, this kid seems to be particularly interested in God?

"Teacher, I think it's okay! My brother is rich, and it doesn't hurt to collect three or five hundred million from him!" Ning Wushuang clapped his hands and applauded, he never thought that he could operate like this, the academician is really an academician!

"Brother Le wants to come to Wudaokou?" He Qingbai looked at Yu Le with envy, but he was clearly happy to see it.

This is an academician's graduate student, and he will go directly to the forefront of science and technology!

Well, I am giving up my two degrees in civil engineering and physics now, is it too late to switch to biology?

"Shi Lao, I will definitely give hundreds of millions, how to give it, we can discuss it slowly, and Uncle Ai will be an intermediary. Yu Le scratched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, I just want to know the result, that is, borrowing the mind of a wise man, the road of scientific research, I don't seem to want to go on my own." ”

"Okay, we can discuss it slowly. Academician Shi sighed regretfully, turned to Ai Du and asked, "Xiao Ai, how did you discover this talent?"

"Shi Lao, it's really because of Wushuang, I found out that Wushuang is the daughter of a senior during my home visit. Yu Le is my senior's student, plus his unparalleled brother. Ai Du doesn't know why Academician Shi favors Yule, if three or five hundred million is not counted, the problem is that academicians are not short of funds, "By the way, Zangma Mountain is a magical place!"

Academician Shi groaned, is it a magical place?

"Zangma Mountain is really amazing, otherwise I wouldn't have made hundreds of millions. Shi Lao, you must go and see it, I promise you will have a magical harvest. Uncle Ai also said earlier that your health and longevity are the country's wealth appreciation. Now Yule has also become a cunning petty trader.

"Well, I'll check it out when I have time. Academician Shi smiled, obviously believing in your evil, "Then I'll talk about creation." Have you ever heard of the saying that the end of science is theology. ”

"Teacher, do you believe in God?" Ning Wushuang's eyes widened with curiosity.

Doesn't it mean that everything can be explained by science?

What can't be explained for the time being is that science has not yet developed to this stage.

"Human beings are like a wheel, which spins very slowly when it starts, and when it gets on the road, it spins faster and faster, and finally it is fast enough to fly. The end is nothing more than two, either collapse and decomposition due to centrifugal force, or break the limitation of time and space because of mass and energy conversion. Academician Shi slowly drank the wine in his glass, his eyes were slightly confused, "We don't know which ending will come first." ”

"If human beings can change themselves at will, be extremely intelligent, infinitely powerful, fly away from the sky, be invulnerable to all poisons, live forever, destroy the stars with a snap of their fingers, tear space with their bare hands, at least in a physical sense, and turn themselves into gods, this is what science can do. Do you think this counts as theology?" Academician Shi looked at Ning Wushuang with a smile.

But as I said earlier, God gives meaning. With the existence of God, we are carefree, anyway, God has arranged all this, we just need to do our own thing, just like a character in the network. You suddenly told me that you are not a character, you are a writer, should you be so vicious. ”

"Science has proven that the universe came from explosions. The redshift phenomenon can be observed, indicating that the universe is constantly expanding, and the sun, moon and stars will be farther and farther away from us. ”

"The earth is just an accident, life is just an accident, human beings are just an accident, and evolution is even based on mistakes. Everything is cold and meaningless. ”

"Man stands in cold space, not knowing where to go, not so much a god as a lonely child. ”

"Since they are gods, human beings have to make rules for themselves. Historically, humans have not been good at making rules, although they seem to be better at not following them. It's a good thing to have rules, but it's a disaster to have no rules. ”

"The hardest thing for human beings to be like God is to give meaning to everything. ”

"God in the physical sense is not difficult, and it is only relative. God in the spiritual sense is too difficult and too terrible. ”

"All of this is an ideal vision of humanity that can be realized. In the process of realizing this vision, there are also a series of disasters that need to be overcome by divine operation. Since the development of human beings, the proportion of luck is actually far greater than ability, and it has nothing to do with hard work. ”

Academician Shi's words were like talking to himself, and finally looked at Ning Wushuang kindly, "Wushuang, you say, is the end of science theology?"

Ning Wushuang was dumbfounded, teacher, everything you said was right.

PS: Do you feel like water? Actually, it's tiring to write, but it's the main content of this book, and it must be explained clearly...... I feel like I'm a reader eunuch.

PS: Thanks to the "endless forms" for quietly promoting the helmsman. This cousin, oh form, is an ancient reader, you can go back to the mixed officialdom, and the book is already 404 years old.
