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

"Albert Einstein made it clear on many occasions that he did not believe in any religion, and you can check this on the Internet, and he wrote a letter about religion and philosophy before his death."

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

"And Einstein's use of the word 'God' does not refer to the God of religion, but to the 'God of Spinoza,' the physical laws of the whole world."

At this point, the professor's expression slowly became serious.

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

"According to the survey, of the 300 most famous scientists in the last 300 years, except for 38 whose beliefs could not be ascertained, 242 of the remaining 262 scientists believed in God, and only 20 were unbelievers!"

"I'm sure all of you here have heard of this survey if you've been on the Internet, but when I checked the literature again, I never found the source of the survey, and the so-called Gallup Poll is a test that no one has ever seen in the academic world......

"What's more, 300 years ago, modern science was not born, and the real modern science is only more than 100 years old, why does this survey activity not use the group of scientists from 100 years ago as a sample, but from the old era scientists 300 years ago as a sample?"

"Not to mention 300 years ago, even 200 years ago, the influence of religion was still very large, even if some scientists were atheists, in the extreme social atmosphere of the time, did they dare to openly express their true feelings?"

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

"With this in mind, I didn't find the Gallup Poll, but I did find a reverse survey......"

"That survey shows that in 1914, the proportion of members of the North American Academy of Sciences who believed in 'God' was still 27%, and in 1998, the proportion of believers in 'God' was only 7%, and this proportion has dropped fast enough, right?"

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

Professor Wang Xi chuckled, "I know, there must be some people who are not convinced, saying, 'You say that the survey of scientists believing in religion is fake, then why is your investigation true?' ’”

"I'm sorry, but my investigation is real!"

As he spoke, 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 the journal Nature, one of the world's top scientific journals, at volume 394, page 313, and the title of the paper is "Leading scientists still reject God"!

Suddenly, there was a round of warm applause from the audience.

"So, let's get back to business."

Professor Wang Xi paced proudly, "Since the phrase 'the end of science is theology' was not said by Einstein or Newton, then who said it? I searched a lot of scientific literature and couldn't find an answer. ”

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

Professor Wang Xi's eyes gradually became serious, "This sentence must have been said by sand sculpture netizens!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

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

"In fact, 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 Buddhists are already waiting for them on the mountain,' or that 'religion without science is blind, but science without religion cannot move forward,' and so on."

Professor Wang Xi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "If you search for these keywords on the Internet, you will find that the entire Internet is full of such rumors, and the rumors even make up many seemingly philosophical celebrity quotes, and because these rumors are very 'positive', they have even been forwarded by some authoritative websites, which is terrifying!" ”

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

Sighing, Professor Wang Xi continued, "I do not deny that there are many things in the world that modern science cannot explain, such as the 'soul'. ”

"I don't know if there is a soul in the world, but if there is, the soul is just a 'life form' or a 'natural phenomenon' that has not yet been discovered."

"The fact that modern science cannot explain the existence of the soul does not mean that the soul is beyond science, but only because science is not developed enough to explain the existence of the soul."

Professor Wang Xi said with a smile, "I know that after listening to this passage, some people will think that they will objectively admonish me: don't 'believe in science', I am very strange - why do you have the words 'superstition' and 'not superstition' in the treatment of science, do you still think that science is a religion?" ”

"I don't mean to make everyone hate religion, you must know that religion as a faith, it reduces the human race and even all things to an all-powerful God, although there are many drawbacks, but it does bring prosperity and stability to mankind in the period of ignorance and backwardness, and provides a hotbed for the birth of science sprouts."

Professor Wang Xi explained step by step, "However, science and theology are indeed two different things......

"The reason why science is different from theology is that it doesn't require anyone to believe it, and at the same time it doesn't put forward its own opinions, but directly proves itself with observational data and experimental results."

"Our attitude towards science should be one that is completely objective and detached from subjective consciousness, because the results of experiments will not be transferred with people's consciousness."

"Whether you believe it or not, like it or hate it, stick to it or give it up, the results of scientific experiments are there!"

Professor Wang Xi's voice gradually raised and was full of strength.

"Science is not a religion, it is the law of operation of the world, the composition of the microscopic particles of the world, and the way of describing the world through countless experimental arguments and conclusions!"

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

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

In the old professor's body, they seem to see the shadow of the scientific sages who dedicated their lives to defend the truth without hesitation.

Ascori, who was the first to discover that the earth was spherical, Copernicus, who adhered to the heliocentric theory, Selvette, who discovered the pulmonary circulation, and Galileo, the founder of modern experimental science......

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

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

There is no end to science!
