011 - Theology at the End of Science?

Chen Chen didn't know when he fell asleep, he only remembered that he was collecting all kinds of information online to deal with the challenges that might arise in the future.

The development of the Internet has created the so-called "information explosion", and people can easily obtain countless knowledge from the Internet.

However, few people turn this information into real wealth.

It's not a matter of perseverance, it's a limitation of logical thinking and judgment.

There is a sea of information on the Internet, but in this sea of information, it is full of all kinds of garbage and false news, and people need to have amazing judgment to distinguish it.

However, when a person with extraordinary judgment receives this knowledge, the Internet will no longer be an obstacle.

On the contrary, the convenience of the network was brought into full play by him.

It was in such a state that Chen Chen browsed major academic websites and forums.

During this period, he even taught himself some hacking techniques, so that he could break through the restrictions and filters of those forums for idle people.

Chen Chen didn't know when he fell asleep.

It seemed to be after two o'clock in the morning, and as the effect of the medicine wore off, drowsiness hit like a tidal wave.

Before Chen Chen even had time to turn off the computer, he lay backwards and fell into a deep sleep.

However, Chen Chen did not sleep peacefully, and the residual effects of the medicine made his brain excited, and he had nightmares all night.

"It's not good, we're late, it's Lao Wang's class in the morning!"

In the haze, Wang Wei's anxious voice came out from the bed, and Chen Chen reflexively opened his eyes, only to find that it was already the early morning of the next day.

Chen Chen sat up, but he felt a feeling of dizziness rushing to his brain, and he had a splitting headache.

I can't tell what is uncomfortable, it's like having a bad cold, my whole body is weak, and my stomach is overturned.

Before he could speak, Chen Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly covered his mouth and jumped out of bed, rushing straight to the toilet.

"Gross!"

A burst of vomiting came from the toilet, and Wang Wei, Li Bo, and Zhou Jie exchanged glances.

"I didn't find it when I came back yesterday, why is Chenzi's reaction more serious than Brother Kong's?"

Wang Wei looked at Zhou Jie after the hangover and wondered.

"Morning is also out of love?" Zhou Jie scratched his head and looked decadent.

"I mean, no wonder you're so poor that you chew buns."

Li Bo shook his head and sighed, "It must be on the goddess of all flowers, I said it a long time ago, licking a dog is not a house." ”

Fortunately, Chen Chen was busy vomiting and didn't hear the conversation between the three of them, otherwise he would have to crooked his nose in anger.

After a period of vomiting, my stomach finally felt a little better.

Chen Chen straightened up, regardless of the temperature of the water, turned on the faucet and splashed it on his face.

The icy chill struck, and Chen Chen struck a spirit, and his sluggish spirit suddenly lifted.

"Knock knock."

Wang Wei's knock came from outside the door, "Chenzi, can you do it, or do you want to ask for a leave?" ”

Chen Chen opened the door drenched, and said weakly, "I'm fine, maybe I have the flu." ”

"So you ate cephalosporin?" Zhou Jie asked.

“……”

So this stalk can't get by, right?

Chen Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense, walked out of the toilet after washing, and began to put on shoes and socks.

Wang Wei was urging his mother on the side, and waited for the four of them to finish cleaning up in a hurry before they went downstairs together and hurried towards the canteen.

"Chenzi, don't hold on if you don't have any money, I have a surplus this month, I can borrow some from you."

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Wang Wei thought of Chen Chen's gnawing on buns yesterday, and patted Chen Chen's shoulder and said.

"It's enough for the time being, but I'm not going to look for you when I can't wait enough."

Chen Chen waved his hand, swiped his card to buy a cup of soy milk and two steamed buns, and walked towards the teaching building while eating.

With a cup of hot soy milk in his stomach, Chen Chen finally came to life by himself, he exhaled deeply, and let out a large amount of white mist.

The winter solstice is coming......

The four of them stepped into the classroom, and at this time the seats in front were already occupied, and the four of them had to find seats in the back row to sit together.

"Alright, get ready for class."

Professor Wang Xi saw that there were almost no one coming, so he began to lecture.

"Before this lesson, let's talk about the relationship between theology and science."

Professor Wang Xi is different from other professors, rarely reading from the script, and more often speaking off topic to stimulate students' interest.

For example, the imagination of the origin of life, or the discussion of eternal life, etc.

At this time, the old professor laughed as he paced, "First of all, who has ever heard the phrase 'the end of science is theology'?" ”

Everyone in the audience was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, and finally basically raised their hands hesitantly.

"Well, that's good, it means that everyone pays a lot of attention to science."

"In that case, let's take a look at the origin of the phrase 'theology at the end of science' and what is the truth for it."

Professor Wang Xi changed the topic, and his expression became more serious.

"First of all, this sentence does seem to make sense at first glance, for example, it is often mentioned on the Internet that many scientists will study theology in their later years."

"Among the representative figures are Newton, known as the 'father of modern physics', and Einstein, the 'father of modern physics'."

"As the proposer of Newtonian mechanics, Newton can be said to have single-handedly promoted the world's scientific progress, and Einstein is called the greatest scientist of the twentieth century, but why would these two scientific giants study theology?"

Professor Wang Xi looked mysterious and lowered his voice, "Could it be that they have really discovered some secret hidden behind science?" ”

Hearing this, many people couldn't help but look at each other, not understanding what Professor Wang Xi wanted to express.

"It wasn't until later, after a night of researching, that I finally came up with an answer to this question."

Professor Wang Xi deliberately showed a look of relief and continued.

"As you know, Newton was born in 1643 A.D., at a time when the whole of Western society was ruled by theocracy, and Newton was born with a theological education, which means that from the moment he was born, he was a Catholic."

"Not only that, but if you look at Newton's life, you will find that he spent most of his life searching for the code for God's creation of the universe, and in his later years intensified his theological studies to prove the existence of God."

"Eighty percent of Newton's life was devoted to theological books, with a total of more than 1.4 million words."

"And all this is inseparable from the environment of the times in which he lived, in an era when religious forces spread all over the country and persecution if you don't believe in religion, it is understandable that a physicist is brainwashed by 'God'."

There were a few chuckles from the audience.

"So, it's really a matter of priority, not that Newton began to study theology in his later years, but that he was always a theologian, and then a scientist."
