神学和科学会破镜重圆吗？

中国科学院院士、前中国科学技术大学校长、南方科技大学创校校长朱清时（1946- ）有此说法：

总之，在二十一世纪开始的时候，以弦论为代表的物理学真正步入缘起性空的禅境了……你可能感到：“科学家千辛万苦爬到山顶时，佛学大师已经在此等候多时了！”（文后附录这次演讲的完整视频。）

由于科学和宗教都声称以追求真相为目标，身为科学家的朱院士的这番话，也就显得顺理成章了。

特大新闻！

离婚又复合，神学和科学会破镜重圆吗？教堂和实验室说的都是同一件事吗？

在茫茫历史长河的迷雾中，找寻神迹的人与追寻宇宙知识的人携手前行。古巴比伦苏玛认为有一个掌管星辰的神明，还有园艺之神、灌溉之神。神职人员作为记录者和技术的掌握者调研这个知识领域。古希腊哲学家们发问，“我们为何会在这？”发展出原子理论、天体运行理论和伦理学。中世纪的欧洲，西欧教会攀上权利的顶峰。拥王者、地主和真理供应商、教会自以为是，以为尽晓天下，教条就是法律。

然而科学开始发展起来，挑战教会的“地心说”。哥白尼、布鲁诺和伽利略被教会迫害。悲剧啊！但没影响到科学的发展。

教会和科学致力分裂知识和人性。笛卡儿创造了“二元论”，教会关心不可见的，而科学关注可见的。唯物主义诞生了。令人不安的休战。

科学家不再被束缚，他们要报仇雪恨：不可见的全是幻觉，我们是严格意义上的小机器，在一个可预期的机械宇宙中运行，严格遵循那些不变的定律。

教会回击：失魂的科学家要落地狱，永不超生！

达尔文叫嚣，“没有什么造物主，我们只是随机突变的 DNA 的载体，在这毫无意义的宇宙中弱肉强食。”

与此同时，科学和宗教都一头撞到南墙上。如果一切都是机器，而上帝是那个神圣的创造者，那人类还能干什么？

科学在这死气沉沉的宇宙越挖越深，不小心发现了一个秘密：在时空那微小的角落里，有深不可测的能量，还有不可思议的神秘。

这暗示着万物一体。这个物质宇宙本质上是非物质的，时间和空间只是这非物质性的构想。

今天，变节的科学家正与宗教领袖齐聚一堂，协商推动一场科学和灵魂的对话。如同 20 世纪开启“机械论”大门那样，在 21 世纪，是否会推倒教堂和实验室之间的铁墙？

IsNewsReal Films presents "Exciting News!"

Is the divorce over? Are spirit and science tying the knot once more? Are the church and the laboratory saying the same thing?

Out of the misty ages of antiquity the quest for the divine and the quest for knowledge about the universe marched hand in hand. Ancient Sumer—There was a god of astronomy a god of horticulture, a god of irrigation and the temple priests were the scribes and technologists investigating these fields of knowledge. Ancient Greece—Philosophers asking the questions of why are we here developed the theory of the atom celestial movements and human ethics. Medieval Europe—The Western church arose to a position of supreme power. Kingmaker, landowner and purveyor of the truth, the church took it upon themselves to be the one knower of everything. The dogma was law.

Yet science had moved forward and now challenged the dogma that the earth was the center of the universe. Copernicus, Bruno and Galileo all felt the heavy hand of the church. The tragedy!

Unable to suppress science anymore the church and science divided up knowledge and human endeavor. Descartes invented dualism. The church had the unseen science the seen. And materialism was born. An uneasy truce.

Scientists were no longer being bound and they reacted with a vengeance. All the unseen is fantasy, delusion. We are strictly little machines running in a predictable machine universe governed by strict, immutable laws.

The church pushed back. Soulless scientists were condemned to hell!

Darwin countered. The creator is nothing, nowhere. We are random mutations simply a carrier of DNA's relentless quest for more in a meaningless universe.

And meanwhile, both science and religion were hitting the wall. If everything was mechanistic and God was the Holy Creator then what were we humans supposed to do?

Science dug ever deeper into a dead universe and stumbled upon and unlocked a mystery. In tiny corners of space and time scientists found unfathomable energy and mind-numbing mysteries.

Mysteries that suggest we are all connected that the physical universe is essentially nonphysical. Time and space are just constructs of this non-materialness.

And today, renegade scientists are meeting with religious leaders. Conferences pushing forward a meeting of science and spirit are springing up. As the 20th century blew open the doors of a mechanistic view, will the 21 st century blow down the iron wall between the church and laboratory?
