据文说,西方目前的趋势是,相信上帝的学者们或政治家们,正套用科学的论证方法或是思维结构将圣经科学化合理化,试图将一切科学所不能解释的现象归结为大写G(god)的所为。 例如某人文中argue说,"the theory of intelligent design is not a religiously based idea...We can now recognize the effects of design in nature. For example, unintelligent physical forces like plate tectonics and erosion(地壳运动和腐蚀运动)seem quite sufficient to account for the origin of the Rocky Mountains. Yet they are not enough to explain Mount Rushmore. Of course, we know who is responsible for Mount Rushmore, but even someone who had never heard of the monument could recognize it as designed." 大意就是说:“科学可以解释落基山脉是如何形成的,可是不能解释拉需磨山的形成。当然我们知道这是谁的杰作,就算是从未听说过上帝造物的人也会发现这座山的结构存在着设计的痕迹。“ 我当时就觉得很好笑,这个所谓的"of course, we know"是哪里来的理论,既然说这不是基于宗教的思想,有何来如此武断的结论。更何况,即使是科学无法解释的问题,我也不一定非要用上帝创造论来解答。为什么我不可以说,这山是外星人的产物,不可以说这是和关孙猴子的五指山一样出现的佛祖杰作呢?这种硬要将一种信仰往科学上去套的做法,实在可笑。有趣的是几乎所有的在座澳洲学生和老师都倾向于和我相同的观点,上帝作为宗教的存在无可厚非,但作为科学,实在是牵强了点。
