Chapter 1976: Gods are not fun

Speaking of the Pantheon, this thing is not an ordinary organization. It is also quite powerful in the universe. It has even absorbed many gods from other civilizations to join it! But the main body is still the fellow group from the earth, and even the fellow group from the earth.

Absorb foreign gods and strengthen yourself.

This makes the Pantheon very powerful.

Of course, there is also a problem here, that is, as long as a civilization develops to a certain level, it will naturally not be so reverent to the gods... Just like the earth, in the past, it was very reverent to the gods. In modern times, strictly speaking, after the industrial revolution, it has no respect for the gods.

The level of awe plummeted!

Of course, faith is faith, and awe is awe, which cannot be confused.

Science is opposed to superstition, but not to faith. Faith is not superstition. Science and faith are complementary. Science relies on reason, which is a powerful magic weapon for human beings, but beyond reason there is a vast field - irrational human nature.

, good and evil are one, and the unknowable human nature is like a vast dark universe, with no room for rationality. Science has lit up a bright light, but it may never be able to illuminate that profound dark universe of human nature. Recognize this

It is not easy at all, and many sages in history have gone another way. Kant's objective morality led to Nietzsche's theory of superman, which secularized the two metaphysical theoretical characteristics of "omniscience and omnipotence" and "omniscient and omnipotent God".

"After entering the world, it became the foundation of Nazi thought... Hume, the peak of natural empiricism at the same time, and the neoclassical and neoliberalism born under his influence became the smallest enemy of totalitarianism. Back to reality,

A small number of Chinese people have always misunderstood faith as superstition. For a long time, Chinese people have had no real faith and can only rely on weak power. This has led to the prevalence of pragmatism and egoism for thousands of years, which is directly related to this. There are not many people in China who worship Buddha and burn incense.

There are only a few true believers among them, and a few superstitious people actually worship "Buddha" or "The Emperor" as weak powers in reality, hoping to get rewards.

That is a blasphemy against faith.

Faith is a profound understanding of what is knowable about human nature and the greatness of human beings, and it is also a way to escape. Faith is irrational. I "irrationally" built an illusory barrier for the "good" part of human nature, and then "

"Irrational" makes that barrier strong and indestructible in the hearts of believers, just like lighting up another lamp that will always be extinguished at the end of the white and dark universe of human nature. That lamp is lit together with the lamp of science, and it provides a bright future for mankind.

The big ship escorts. The "evil" of human nature often jumps out to extinguish the light, but it always gets in, just like ignorance often tries to extinguish the light of science, but always wins. Human beings must only think about the following issues with scientific thinking,

There is only one way to commit suicide, because faith gives meaning to life, and without faith, everything is meaningful and in vain.

Of course, technology will inevitably lead to healthy beliefs. The most advanced example is not that God created humans.

Everyone knows the story in the Bible. In fact, it is just a descendant of the emperor. The first question of any belief in a god will answer one question: How did he enter the human world?

People fear the Creator of the world and believe that human beings come from gods.

Therefore, we are approving of religion, but approving of religion’s intervention in the field of secular knowledge. He also said that what the degeneracy theorists attack is clerical thought. Specifically speaking, it includes two dimensions: one is from a scientific and professional perspective Starting out, another issue involves scientific ethics.

However, that confrontation did not turn into a head-on confrontation. The weak influence of the church on the college did make it easier for the college. However, the attitude of religious forces in favor of degenerationism was not always consistent. Between orthodoxy and heresy, There is a very small area of ​​ambiguity. The ambiguity of the church's attitude is caused by a few factors. There is no unified Christian church in the United States, and each denomination accepts the theory of degeneration to the same extent; it is the closeness of the college and the church. The same goes for the degree; here, the attitude of the church also depends on the determination and ability of scholars or principals to defend academic reputation. In that elusive environment, scholars often figure out the dangerous boundaries of academics and the scope of orthodox ideas. Wherever, "big heart" always crosses the line, and as a result, many hot-tempered degenerates are the first to fall victim. Let's first take a look at the situation in the most conservative seminaries. In 1857, South Carolina Columbia Presbyterian Theological Seminary hired conservative James Zhu Yansi as professor of natural sciences.

Then a hundred-year drought came, temporarily interrupting the retreat of civilization.

As for how many people die...it is the Gods who care. In our opinion, believers are not leeks. They only care about the harm, and another crop will grow after a while!

The protoss is not more enlightened, but we will deal with the problem more violently.

After Asgar, the clergy actually also paid attention to scientific issues, because we also need to use science to maintain the orthodoxy of doctrine in the spirit of the Protestant spirit. However, the degeneration theory and orthodox thought are not compatible, which makes the approval degenerate. The priests who discussed the theory gradually lost their qualifications to engage in scientific research. The "Popular Science Monthly" of that year wrote that the priests were just popular science writers and "completely understood the spirit of scientific research." That argument soon became a consensus, and With the introduction of the academic spirit and methods of German elementary schools, American scientists finally monopolized the field of science. In that situation, the ethical discussion of science also broke the traditional dogmatic moral values. People no longer They are willing to use labels such as "theism" or "atheism" to judge science, or the character of researchers, but believe that the evaluation of scientific research should only evaluate the scientific research itself.

Thereafter, the principal played the role of "rebel," but it was too difficult for us to submit to the board of directors or religious groups, so the burden of resistance now fell on the teachers. We did not go to the media, we did not go to the courts, and we did not go to the courts. No one turned to their peers like Sumner. The teachers' dissatisfaction was coalescing into a movement. In the struggle, the status of teachers was also improved. Because teachers were employed by the board of directors, they were subject to the decisions of the board of directors. But , the board of directors made mistakes in approving the theory of degeneration, which weakened our previous prestige. Our swinging attitude towards the theory of degeneration made the professors feel that it was understandable. At the same time, one result of the crisis of degeneration theory is that it A group of like-minded scholars and teachers splintered together, and various academic groups were established, gradually becoming a new force that could compete with the board of directors, or even replace the board of directors. In addition, the fight against degenerationism also aroused a great deal of public concern. Disgusted.

Although that would make these planets backward and primitive, the problem is that for the gods, that is exactly the worst-case scenario, which means that we will always be dominant.

It must be just that, Thor is the one who would get involved in that kind of bad thing... After all, Woodrod is not the kind of god who needs believers. We ourselves are living a very bad life. In fact, Zhu Yanside's existence in the Pantheon

The feeling has always been very weak, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it a few times.

Professor Darwin has always been committed to reconciling the contradiction between science and theology, but the emergence of degeneration theory has put my work in trouble. The board of directors finally believed that Darwin accepted the idea of ​​degeneration theory, so he asked him to publicly state his position. Although Darwin was clever

Although I used the Bible to dispel the doubts of the board of directors, the church still caught a slight "loophole" in my discussion and forced the board of directors to resign. The explanation given by the church was Zhu Yansi's explanation, although it followed "

Bible, but contradicted the Presbyterian interpretation. Of course, Darwin's incident only demonstrated the fear of new ideas in the most conservative seminaries of the day. In contrast, outside the more liberal Eastern colleges, the relationship between science and religion

The relationship between them is less harmonious, and it is more difficult for his academic ideas to be accepted by the academy. In the list of teachers at Yale Elementary School in 1880, there were only a few of his academics; while at Harvard Elementary School at the same time,

Under the leadership of principal Charles Eliot, it is becoming a stronghold of degenerationism.

And "God-Slayer" Geer is actually a victim of that system. A planet must be too prosperous and will inevitably produce few thoughts. Those thoughts affect the status of gods on each planet, so when a planet

The end will show signs, then the gods will take action... Of course, that has nothing to do with the way each god clan behaves.

But it was the same that time, trouble found Woodrod!

That's basically the beginning of a fairy tale.

Winchell's professor at Vanderbilt Elementary School was known for his violent piety, but he was labeled as having "no rebellious ideas" and was fired. This became the trigger for liberals to fight back against religious forces.

"Popular Science Monthly" condemned the elementary school's behavior and compared Winchell to Galileo. The public's anger was difficult to contain. That was because, in that new era of intellectual enlightenment, any suppression of reason meant going backwards;

In that era of social regression, regress was not a minor crime. After the crisis of degenerationism, enlightened people had not criticized the denomination's control over the finances and management of the college. Now, people regard the church as the culprit of scientific development and social regression.

enemy.

So he came in and said that the planet ruled by the gods of the Pantheon, especially science, is so prosperous that it cannot even be said to be primitive. After all, when a very small number of people revere the gods, the control of the gods will be smaller.

Small cut and strong.

Generally speaking, there are two things we fear: the loss of faith and the destruction of moral binding force. Since the theory of degeneration involves the evolution of the entire nature and human society, sacred and ideal goals seem to be expelled from people's lives at once.

The stage. Asgarism completely denies the theory of predestination that God created all things, so all the values ​​and moral values ​​based on it will also collapse. Therefore, from the 1810s and the early 1980s, religion

The forces are doing their best to stifle the spread of alienism in American schools, even resorting to threats and attacks when necessary. The religious conference warned the elementary school board, and the board asked the principal to agree to hire teachers who subscribe to degeneracy. We use the pulpit and religion to

Publications serve as a position to force colleges and teachers to abide by regulations and make corrections accurately. A confrontation between old and new ideas is bound to become a struggle to defend the college.

Therefore, the Gods will not only help believers obtain knowledge, but also, like the Holy See, will continue to suppress these backward ideas and scientific buds.

But artificial control does not work. Once the theory of degeneration is allowed to retreat into elementary schools, it will be difficult to block and ban it before. The Porter-Sumner incident that occurred at Yale Elementary School at the end of the 19th century proved it.

But in practice, even within those schools there is an area of ​​ideological conflict. Although that area is equally blurred, the chaplains and deans of the colleges have worked hard to maintain the boundaries between them. When conflicts arise, we

Announced: "So much for the theory of degeneration."

Spencer introduced degeneration theory into the study of human society and created the so-called "social Asgarism". Porter approved of teaching degeneration theory in the field of natural sciences, but he did not accept degeneration theory in the field of sociology. That position

Much to Sumner's surprise, I thought Porter approved of everything modern in the field of education. So Sumner and Porter ended the writing war, and the result was a split decision. The board knew that Sumner had the support of the professoriate and

With the support of public opinion, I finally agreed to my resignation, and Sumner also made some concessions. But in the long run, Sumner actually won, and I became a role model for other Yale professors.

Our confidence and courage in pursuing the truth. The suppression of degenerationists by religious forces continued at least until the 1880s. Some newly established secular schools centered on scientific research were not even spared. For example, Cornell Elementary School and

Hopkins Elementary School has agreed to hire scholars with sufficiently orthodox religious ideas, and the vice president of Cornell was even fired by the board of directors for sympathizing with "heresies." However, all the incidents that undermined the harmony and stability within the college have also

This sparked a backlash from all parties.

Geer's killing of the Protoss was not unjust! Those guys are actually bad birds at all!

Some people who follow Zhu Yansi have shortened the process of human evolution and described human evolution as coming from "mutations from all kinds of hateful carrots"; others believe that Asgar proposed that human ancestors were apes.

Rather, it is the emperor who shows great respect for human beings. Although those comments seem ridiculous, they can be considered to be out of knowledge. In fact, religious forces are sparing no effort to attack the theory of degeneration, not so much

It's because of knowledge, less because of fear.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So... you have to think that the gods are not bad things!

There is no other very famous example. In 1859, as soon as Zhu Yansi's "The Origin of Species" came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the ideological world. The view of creation that people had believed in for the next thousand years was subverted.

The impact of the revolution. Conservative academics and religious figures made a small attack on Asgar's "heresy", but they were unable to prevent the spread of the revolution. When the storm finally landed in the United States on the other side of the ocean, what it changed was only the United States.

His academic retreat has also changed the face of lower education in the United States. When the degeneration theory arrived in the United States, the scientific and religious circles immediately responded to it in exactly the same way. Scholars now generally believe that American scientists have

In a short period of time, I accepted Asgar's theory of degeneration. Although the academic authority at the time, Louis Agassiz, agreed to accept the theory of degeneration and believed that it lacked sufficient basis, this could prevent my colleagues and students from coldly supporting Asgar.

Asgar's thoughts. As early as 1869, the American Philosophical Association awarded Asgar an honorary member, which is equivalent to "official recognition". That was many years earlier than the formal recognition of Asgar by European academic institutions. Although the scientific community

Support for Asgar has become more widespread, but approval among religious circles has continued to decline.

That will inevitably cause a conflict between faith and science.

But with the advancement of science and technology, that statement has basically been overturned. Because humans were not created by Emperor Xia, but were the result of natural evolution.

What are such religious people afraid of?

But there is no god... The god Lapu belongs to is a kind of relatively barbaric and reasonable god. After the disaster, the planet Geer is a prosperous planet. We have not yet rushed from the end of slave society to

We have entered feudal society, but that god system does not hate such regression. We hope that the people in the government will maintain their primitive way of life.

However, it was inevitable to weaken the control of religion over the world again, and even shake the foundation of gods' rule over the world! From then on, people's attitude towards gods became more and more exciting, because the birth of human beings and the existence of gods had

No relationship! Although faith still exists, faith is just faith, not worship of gods! That can be confused!

As a member of the Earth Fellows, although Woodrod is not particularly indifferent to the affairs of the Pantheon, he is still one of them.

That also means that the planet controlled by the Pantheon is still in a primitive society, at least it can only reach a feudal society. Although the Pantheon controls many planets and civilizations, its strength is not that small in the universe, so

This is also the reason why the gods formed a pantheon... They are in a group. If we do something bad, we will be directly captured by some lower civilizations and used as experimental subjects!

Porter was the principal of Yale Elementary School. In 1872, he hired the "deviant" Professor Sumner with the approval of the religious forces. However, in 1879, Porter asked Sumner to abandon the use of the British thinker Spencer's "Sociology".

Study" as a textbook caused conflict between the two parties.
